Tobias grew up in the Bavarian Alps, spending the majority of his time in nature. He enjoys sharing his passion for the natural world as well as explaining its fascinating phenomena.

He holds a BSc in Geosciences and MSc in Economic Geology, but his experience mainly comes from working as an exploration geologist in the mining and metals industry. Tobias has worked on projects in Australia, Iceland, Greenland, the USA, and Canada.

His position within the industry focused on remote, helicopter-based fieldwork in areas that few people have the chance to see.

Tobias has traveled widely, visiting Alaska and some of the lower 48 states, Peru, Oman, and much of Europe, but he feels most comfortable in the rugged, mountainous terrain of the polar regions.

He has worked in the expedition cruise industry since 2014, visiting various areas of the Arctic and Antarctica. While at home, he spends his time climbing mountains, exploring caves or abandoned mines, and working for local mountain and cave rescue teams.

Ali was born in Germany, where he studied geography but eventually decided to turn his passion for sailing into a profession.

He pursued nautical studies in the Netherlands, specializing in traditional sailing ships as well as tall ships.

Ali has been professionally sailing tall ships since 2008, mostly around Europe (the North Sea, Baltic, and Mediterranean) but also across the Atlantic and in the Caribbean.

In recent years, much of his sailing has taken place in the Arctic, specifically in the beautiful, remote, and sometimes challenging waters of Greenland and Svalbard.
