From adventure to responsibility: rethinking polar exploration, with Børge Ousland

He is one of the greatest polar explorers of our time. Børge Ousland has spent his life crossing the most remote regions on Earth from the North Pole to Antarctica, in conditions where every decision matters.But in this episode of En tête-à-tête, recorded at the Banff Mountain Film and Book Festival, he doesn’t talk about exploration the way we usually expect.He speaks about what he has seen change. About ice that is no longer the same. About landscapes that disappear faster than we realize.Through his expeditions, Børge has become more than an explorer. He has become a witness.We also talk about solitude, not as isolation, but as a space for reflection. About teamwork, trust, and what it means to rely on others in extreme environments. And about this shift: from pushing limits… to choosing what to stand for.Enjoy the episode ✨📖 Book quoted in this episode : - Farthest North, Fridtjof Nansen About Børge Ousland : - His ⁠⁠⁠website⁠⁠⁠- His Instagram accounts : ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Børge Ousland⁠ & ⁠Ousland Explorers⁠Follow our project 🏔️ :- On ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Youtube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ - On our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- On our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
