    May 7 2025

    Eric Philips is one the worlds most experienced polar adventurers. His 30+ expeditions to the North and South Poles, icecap crossings of Greenland, Iceland and Patagonia, and a childhood love of space landed him an even more out-of-this-world adventure – a world-first, polar space flight orbiting the poles.

    Mar 2 2025

    We unpack the ‘incident’ which scared the crap out of both of us and taught us valuable lessons.
