Morten Jørgensen Guide and Expedition Leader

Morten was born in Copenhagen and has always loved the natural environment and especially its wildlife. He has travelled throughout his whole life. As a child he and his parents was living in Afghanistan, in Tanzania and also in Malaysia. As an adult he has visited all seven continents.

Since 1997, he has been in the Arctic, working on small cruise ships as a guide, lecturer, zodiac driver and expedition leader. He has also worked in the Antarctic and the Indian Ocean, as well as other places.

Since the mid-eighties, Morten has been an active ornithologist, a passion that has been supplemented with a love for marine mammals, whales and dolphins, seals and polar bears alike. There are no areas of nature that do not fascinate Morten. He also likes photography.

Morten is a skilled and very keen observer of wildlife, regardless if it is birds, mammals or other living beings. He is also very comfortable with the roles of guide, interpreter and lecturer. Morten enjoys sharing the adventure of visiting remote areas with fellow passengers, and he also values the opportunity to point out to visitors the sensitivity of the wilderness and its inhabitants, stressing key points of vulnerability, conservation and sustainability.

In 2015, Morten published a book on polar bear conservation called "Polar Bears on the Edge" and a second one will be published in 2022.
