"I respect that handling huskies is a skill that takes time, determination and patience to develop but ultimately, to be any good, it demands talent. Gary has over the past seven years cut his teeth alongside the world's most skilled of polar travellers. A craft learnt from strong personalities - both men and women who suffer no fools."

Gary Rolfe, Born 21st February 1966, Walthamstow, E17, London, UK, is a dog musher and an athlete. Dedicated and highly motivated, he is driven by his pure passion for the Arctic with its awe-inspiring beauty, a love of huskies and adventure.

 
In May 2002 Gary successfully completed his third consecutive Arctic Ocean expedition with dogs, second solo and totally unsupported with no re-supply from the outside world. The areas he has experienced are infamous for their violent storms, thin, cracked floe edges - much favoured by hunting polar bears with their cubs - and debilitating cold.

The modern polar expedition trend has in many ways detracted from the old-fashioned connections and the respectful understanding of these regions. Gary has bucked that trend creating a subtle expedition method by blending the traditional ways with modern materials, communications, clothing and feeding practices.

Gary has now established the successful ingredients to succeed and survive alone in one of the world's true remaining wilderness locations, the unforgiving Arctic.
