Dr. Terence Christian
Historian, Archaeologist, Discovery Leader
Terence is a conflict archaeologist and military historian. Bitten by the travel bug from an early age, he has travelled extensively, exploring a majority of the world’s continents and oceans as an expedition leader, expedition guide and Zodiac driver. Terence maintains active certifications in the expedition guiding and maritime industries including Certified Polar Guide status. According to Terence the Polar regions are some of his favourite places to guide guests. When you journey to the Poles, you journey where few have ventured before, where the climate provides unmatched artefact and preservation. Each day feels like a step back in time.

Alice Forrest
Alice’s passion is the natural world and creatures who inhabit it. She has degrees in Conservation Biology, Marine and Antarctic Science and as a researcher she felt the best way to utilise this scientific knowledge is to share it. Alice has worked extensively in marine tourism, connecting people to the wonder and value of the ocean. Alice’s favourite experience is watching guests fall in love with nature as they snorkel with tiger sharks, kayak with dolphins, see eye-to-eye with humpback whales, or be breathed on by a minke whale in a Zodiac in Antarctica.
