Christine Hawes
Kayak Guide and Zodiac driver Christine Hawes first paddled in Antarctica in 2007. She is passionate about the world's wild spaces. She is drawn to them for work and for personal expeditions.
Christine has joined these expeditions:
What skills do you bring to the job?
"I am a certified Sea-kayak Guide. My education and training is as an Adventure Guide."
What keeps you coming back season after season?
"The privilege to experience these areas of immense wilderness and beauty."
If you could time travel, which historic expedition would you join, and why?
"It is impossible for me to choose just one...I long to experience different aspects of all expeditions - primarily the experience of living in an era of constant discovery. In the true spirit of adventure, I dream of creating my own journey...of exploration, distance, endurance, and comradery.
Christine's advice for Polar Travelers
"Come free of expectations. Be open and ready to embrace and enjoy the true glory of what the polar regions have to offer. They are like nothing you have ever seen!"
