28 November 2016: lecture Ole Jørgen Hammeken
Ole Jørgen Hammeken is a Greenlandic explorer and actor, based in Denmark and Russia. He participated in 2007 in the 'Global Warming Dogsled Expedition' a journey of over 500 km (310 mi) up and over the Greenland ice sheet from Uummannaq Fjord to Ilulissat, intended to draw people's attention to climate change and global warming.
In 2008, Hammeken completed a circumpolar voyage in a motorized open boat. In February 2009, Hammeken planned a centennial dog sled trip from northern Canada to the North Pole, 771 km (480 mi), one-way, minimum distance, retracing the footsteps of Robert Peary. He is a member of The Explorers Club.
Then there are several projects he had with Dutch artists that lead to documentaries - like about this one :
