Jonathan Turk

In 2011 National Geographic nominated Jonathan Turk (PhDChem) and his 27-year-old partner as one of the “Top Ten Adventure Teams” in the world. His fourth book, Crocodiles and Ice: A Journey into Deep Wild, was published in September. The book highlights Jon’s award-winning polar expedition circumnavigating Ellesmere Island in the Canadian Arctic and details his path from a suburban Connecticut childhood into a life in Earth’s wild places.
