Expeditions

“Jarvis clearly likes to do things the hard way. Gimmicky, glory-seeking adventure is not his style, so when he takes to the ice he does it for a reason. His reputation for being a proper explorer with a real explorer’s values is based on a lot of miserable, unseen, unsung graft.”

-  Nick Smith, Book Dealer Review

In over 20 years of expeditioning, Tim has taken a kayak passage to the dry centre of Australia, lived on the largest uninhabited island in the South Pacific, and recreated the polar survival journey of explorer Sir Douglas Mawson – done using 1913 clothing and equipment and starvation rations.
