Alex Burridge

Managing Director

In 2001/2002, I undertook the first of many voyages to Antarctica & the High Arctic (Svalbard). Polar travel became a passion of mine. My experience and knowledge gained whilst working as Peregrine’s Polar Expeditions Manager and working with Quark Expeditions, allows me to offer expert advice to ensure your trip south really is the trip of a lifetime. In the last two years, I’ve been fortunate to head back to the Antarctic Peninsula (November 2023) and to the sub-Antarctic Islands of New Zealand and Australia’s Macquarie Island (Dec 2024).
