Ramón Hernando de Larramendi

Ramón Hernando de Larramendi (Madrid, 1965) is a Spanish polar explorer and adventure traveler who has promoted and developed a WindSled (also call Inuit WindSled) unique in the world, intended for the research in Antarctica and Greenland. He has traveled more than 40,000 km in polar territories.

One of his first milestones was the Circumpolar Expedition in the Arctic, during which he covered 14,000 km using only a dog sled and a kayak. This trip, which took three years to complete, laid the foundation for his later projects. In recent years, Larramendi has led a dozen expeditions in Antarctica and Greenland with his WindSled vehicle, whose ultimate goal is to be used for polar scientific research. Throughout his career, Larramendi has received several awards. An author of books on his experiences and on the Inuit, he has also been a member of RTVE's 'Al filo de lo imposible' ('Edge of the Impossible') team. He is currently a member of the board of directors of the Spanish Geographic Society. He lives part of the year in southern Greenland. Provided by Wikipedia
