arctic explorer
Frozen north investigator
An arctic explorer is someone who travels to the Arctic region for purposes of discovery, scientific research, or adventure.
The term evokes a particular era of polar expeditions in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, when figures like Peary and Amundsen competed to reach the North Pole.
Today it applies more broadly to researchers and adventurers in far northern latitudes: She dreamed of becoming an arctic explorer after reading about Shackleton.
