Hi everyone. Thank you for dropping in! I'm Mark, Skipper / Marketer for The Polar Front. Together with my 'Old Man' - Phil, I've been involved from the very start of the adventure back in 2006.
I'm into every activity going! Skiing, climbing and kayaking provide a lifetime of entertainment to me and I really look forward to sharing some of my favourite places with you. If you are looking for a stunning wilderness with some of the best adventure sport destinations in the world, North Norway will not disappoint.
Please drop me an e-mail or call me with any questions you have about our organisation. I'd be very pleased to hear from you.

Phil Richardson: Owner / Director The Polar Front
Welcome to The Polar Front.
I'm the 'Old Man' of the business, but don't let that deceive you. This year I managed to spend 9 weeks onboard Polar Bear, visiting Shetland, Faroes, Lofoten, Lyngen and of course my favourite - Spitsbergen.
Together with my son Mark, we created The Polar Front in 2006. Buying Polar Bear was one of the biggest decisions of my life, a huge wave of excitement at the potential for this boat washed over me, drowning out any voices in my head which said "You must be mad!!!"
I trust this website provides a glimpse of what we are all about, and I do hope you choose to come and see for real! It is my job to make sure you are not disappointed!
Phil
