ALEX HIBBERT, POLAR EXPLORER AND EXPEDITION LEADER, THE DARK ICE PROJECT

The Dark Ice Project is an expedition that has demands placed on its team which set it apart from many in the past – a combination of isolation, extreme duration and a great deal of darkness. Medical situations can arise through trauma and accident but also to a great extent, through chronic illness caused by long-term stresses. I asked Dr Alex Kumar to assist my team in our preparations because quite simply, I needed the best. Not just the best in terms of thorough medical knowledge and well-considered and perfectly-pitched advice, but due to a near-unique catalogue of first hand experiences which bridge the gap between theory and real-world practicality.

Alex is a valued friend of the Dark Ice Project and our bespoke day of refresher training could very well make the difference between health and illness – success and failure. Thank you.
