Tim Jarvis

Tim Jarvis combines a love of adventure with a passion for environmental issues - a passion demonstrated through his work as an environmental scientist, public speaker and explorer of many of the planet's remotest places.
As an environmental scientist with Masters in both Environmental Science and Environmental Law, Tim Jarvis has undertaken many unsupported expeditions to some of the polar regions, deserts, mountains and rainforests of the world, including a record-breaking journey to the South Pole. These incredible feats have tested Tim to the very limits of his mental and physical endurance, and have provided the basis for award-winning documentaries and two best-selling books. They have also been used as inspiring source material for Tim's many public speaking engagements to both individuals and organisations where talks focus on motivation, leadership and environmental change.
Tim's environmental work is focused on sustainable development in countries including India, Sri Lanka, Papua New Guinea and the Phillipines.
Tim Jarvis is currently preparing his latest expedition, ‘The 2011 Shackleton Epic Expedition’
an epic recreation of Shackleton's historic journey using the same type of clothing and equipment as Shackleton and an exact replica of the explorer's famous boat - the James Caird.
Tim Jarvis is a well-known international public speaker, talking regularly to a wide range of audiences, including industry, higher education and the public. Insights gained from years of expeditions and environmental work have provided Tim with a unique perspective that he uses to help inspire the achievement of personal or professional goals and to highlight the importance of environmental change and its benefits. After dinner presentations draw on anecdotes from a fascinating life of exploration and adventure, whilst all talks are supported by spectacular images from Tim Jarvis's multiple expeditions.
