Dr Geoff Wilson - Motivational Speaker
Dr. Geoff Wilson is a world-class polar explorer, dynamic keynote speaker and entrepreneur. He’s living a vast and varied life split between being a family man, veterinary surgeon and expeditionist - constantly squeezing every drop out of life.
Dr Wilson holds the current record for the fastest Coast to Coast crossing via the South Pole of the Antarctic continent (53 days), the fastest crossing of Greenland south to north (18 days), the first and only wind-assisted crossings of the Sahara Desert (42 days) and the infamous Torres Strait (3 days).
On January 4, 2020, he completed the longest journey by a human in a polar region, 5,306km, solo and unsupported. He finished his history-making mission in 58 days. Along the journey, he also became the first Australian to reach the Pole of Inaccessibility (unsupported) and the first person to summit Dome Argus, the highest point on the Antarctic Plateau (unsupported).
The harsh conditions he faced on The Longest Journey are in stark contrast to life on his family farm in the Currumbin Valley on the sunny Gold Coast in Queensland.
Dr Wilson is a veterinary surgeon and owner of Vet Love. He has three children to his wife of 28 years, Sarah.
Since 2013, his missions have raised close to half a million dollars for the McGrath Foundation’s breast care nurses. He is motivated by women undergoing their own solo journeys in treatment.
