MARTIN NESSE
Martin Nesse is a Norwegian endurance athlete and AI developer who holds master’s degrees in economics and engineering data science.
Raised between Northern Norway and Oslo, his path to exploration began unexpectedly - originally a rock musician, he developed a taste for endurance and remote places through mountain running, which led to longer expeditions including a full length solo traverse of Norway in 100 days and a crossing of the Greenland ice cap. In the winters, Martin spends most of his time outdoors skiing and training, while in the summer he indulges his passion for motorcycles, building them from scratch and taking long trips on the open road. For Martin, Antarctica represents the ultimate test of preparation, endurance, and simplicity.
MAX WORSLEY
Max Worsley is an experienced outdoor enthusiast and the son of polar explorer Henry Worsley.
Raised in Herefordshire, he spent most weekends outside with his father - ferreting, camping, and building bonfires - habits that hard-wired a love for nature and wild places. As an adult, Max has since gone on to become a passionate mountaineer, spending most of his spare time in the Alps. He has summited Mont Blanc and the Matterhorn and completed a series of smaller endurance expeditions across the UK and Europe. In recent years, Max has trained under polar specialists Hannah McKeand and Lars Ebbesen, building the skills, systems, and resilience required to undertake the dream he has had since he was fourteen years old: an expedition in Antarctica.
