Wolfgang has joined these expeditions:

What skills do you bring to the job?

"A background in ethnography and geology is coupled with my language skills. I speak German and English fluently."

If you could time travel, which historic expedition would you join, and why?

"Roald Amundsen's voyage aboard Maud through the Northeast Passage. Amundsen hoped to join Harald Ulrik Sverdrup. They traveled eight months together with a group of reindeer nomads - the Chuckchi people between 1919 and 1920."

Wolfgang's advice for Polar Travelers

"If you want to visit both the Arctic and Antarctica - start with the Arctic."
