Mike Horn
Professional Explorer | First Person to Circle the Arctic Ocean Solo

About
Mike Horn has completed expeditions that most consider impossible, including circling the Arctic Ocean alone without motorized transport, traversing the Amazon solo, and reaching the North Pole in winter darkness. Born in South Africa, he has spent decades pushing the limits of human endurance in the worlds most hostile environments.
Horn brings visceral stories of survival, decision-making under extreme conditions, and mental resilience from genuinely dangerous situations. His keynotes translate exploration experience into applicable lessons for facing challenges in business and life.
