A life of adventures

A life-long waterman, climber and mountaineer, Sebastian has specialized his adventure skills to polar exploration, and re-tooled his commercial photography roots into Fine Art as a medium for activism. Since 1999, he has led various expeditions to the Polar regions, among which, in March 2009, he led a mission to what is widely considered the most dif cult expedition in the world: the geographical North Pole. With his partner Keith Heger, they walked seven hundred kilometers to commemorate the centennial of Admiral Peary’s reach in 1909. In 2010, Sebastian and partner Eric McNair-Landry spent 43 days crossing the Greenland ice sheet using skis and kites and without outside support, over more than 2300 kilometers.
