| Welcome to the Ice Warrior Project | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Ice Warrior is all about modern-day exploration using ordinary, everyday people to achieve extraordinary expeditionary feats. Ice Warrior’s ethos harks back to the days when polar expeditions were not only pushing the boundaries of human endurance and extending the levels of the human spirit but purposeful explorations of the coldest and most remote regions of our planet. In this modern age, our discoveries are more about climate change, changes to flora, fauna and topography and as we come across these experiences we deliver them into the many homes, schools and businesses that follow us. These are truly life-changing experiences and demonstrate that with the right attitude, preparation and training, ordinary people can achieve extraordinary things. Inevitably, in developing people for these operations, we stand as role models for successful businesses, taking the lessons we learn about leadership and team performance into the corporate boardroom. To enable us to achieve these ambitious aims we apply leading-edge technologies and innovative engineering. All these things we do with the crucial support of our sponsors who fund the operations and our friends and families who put up with our absences. I do hope you enjoy perusing our website and if you’re interested in following our exploits please do sign up to receive our news. Jim McNeill – Founder

" When Jim approached me with a brief note hinting of a 'large ambitious but realistic' polar project in the offing he left me with little idea as to what it was all about. But three things grabbed my immediate attention. 'Polar', 'World Firsts' and the fact that this was a British effort." "During my first conversation with Jim, I was impressed by his quiet confidence and solid enthusiasm. Since then I have come to learn of the determination, dexterity, skills and knowledge of Jim and the crew behind the project and am delighted to be associated with them. Ice Warrior has all the potential of a truly great British First. Slightly mad and eccentric in conception, thorough and precise in planning and likely to prove ingenious and resolved in execution. " " I wish Jim and his team the very best of luck in their endeavours. " |

"I am delighted to announce that The Princess Royal has very kindly agreed to become the expedition's patron. When one is really pushing the limits of mental and physical tolerance it means so much to have people routing for you." - Jim |

“Learning to travel the hard way is not only the best way, but it’s also the most memorable. I greatly admire all of you for having a go – believe me you won’t forget the experience. Good luck.” |

"Jim and his team are not only undertaking an extraordinary Great British endeavour in the true, traditional sense of the phrase, but they are doing it with genuine purpose. The data they'll gather will deliver new evidence as to what is really happening and further our understanding of the sea-ice and its effect on climate change. I'm delighted to support them and wish them well.
Best wishes and best of luck!"
