Jean-Louis Étienne is one of the most iconic explorers of our time, known for bridging extreme adventure with groundbreaking science. A French physician by training, he has dedicated his life to the polar regions—both Arctic and Antarctic—not just as frontiers of exploration but as crucial indicators of Earth’s environmental balance.
