Exciting new addition to our team

The Arctic Jubilee Expedition welcomes a new team mate. Looking forward to working with you Jim!

James Gudjonson: ACMG/IFMGA Guide

James has been a professional mountain guide for the last 18 years; he became a member of the International Federation of Mountain Guides Associations (IFMGA) after training in the Canadian Mountain and Ski Guide Program (CMSG). His duties as a guide involve working as an instructor/examiner on various CMSG programs as well as coordinating contractors and students involved with the program. James has led many international expeditions including: Chile, Peru, Japan, Argentina and Alaska. James holds the Distinguished Service Award (2008) for his activity within the Alpine Club of Canada. He is also the Energy and Sustainability Manger at Thompson Rivers University, overseeing the reduction of GHG emissions and fostering a ‘culture of sustainability’ throughout the university.

James’s role on the expedition will be to work alongside Antony in leading and developing those with less experience to enhance their mountaineering skills and expedition safety; he will play a key role in skill progression.
