One of Australia's great polar explorers and expedition leaders, Eric Philips, describes himself as 'a bit of an ambassador for the Arctic'.

He's back home after a three-month stint circumnavigating most of Greenland, on board the Greenpeace vessel MV Arctic Sunrise. Philips was the safety and survival expert on the scientific expedition, which took a close-up look at the Arctic meltdown.
