Morten Jørgensen

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

Since 1997, he has been in the Arctic, working on small cruise ships as guide, lecturer, zodiac driver and expedition leader. He has also worked in the Antarctic and the Indian Ocean, among 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. But there are no areas of nature that do not fascinate him. He also likes photography.

Morten is a skilled and very keen observer of wildlife, be it 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. A second one was published in 2022.
