We are delighted to invite you to a truly unique event aboard the PERSEVERANCE vessel for dinner with legendary explorer, physician, and environmental advocate Jean-Louis Étienne. Famous for his expeditions to the Arctic and Antarctica, Captain Étienne was the first person to reach the North Pole alone and co-led a remarkable 220-day trans-Antarctica crossing by dogsled. With the oceanographic sailboat PERSEVERANCE, Captain Étienne now focuses on documenting Antarctica's fragile ecosystems and advocating for their protection.
