Shackleton: ‘A soul whipped on by the wanderfire’

Shackleton: ‘A soul whipped on by the wanderfire’

by Jessica Thompson | Jan 5, 2022

There’s a phrase I read in Sir Ranulph Fienne’s biography of Ernest Shackleton, which really stuck with me to the point that I flicked through the book – simply entitled ‘Shackleton’ – all over again just to find it. Shackleton was...

About the Author

There's a great word I read in Sir Ranulph Fienne's book, Shackleton, which I feel epitomises me and what Travel Polar is all about. Polarhullar. It translates as an ache for the polar regions. I've felt Polarhullar for years now. Ever since I first travelled within the Arctic Circle at the age of twelve, I've longed to return to the cold. That's what Travel Polar is all about and, perhaps, when you've read some of my stories, you'll experience Polarhullar for yourself and create some memories of your own.

A little bit about myself and Travel Polar:⁣ ⁣ A little bit about myself and Travel Polar:⁣ ⁣ My name is Jess and this handsome gentleman is my husband John.⁣ ⁣ We're pictured here in Iceland's Blue Lagoon, December 2016. It was our first trip north together and, while it was just a long weekend spent mostly in Reykjavik, it was really the beginning of a shared love of colder travels.⁣ ⁣ It was exactly three years later, in December 2019 that the idea for Travel Polar was conceived, whilst we took a gondola up a mountain in Abisko, Swedish Lapland, during the Polar night.⁣ ⁣ It may have taken two more years to actually launch the website but in January 2022, I finally got around to sharing some of my stories.⁣ ⁣ Travel Polar will be a collection of my own adventures, as well as tips for others who would like to explore the colder parts of the world.⁣ ⁣ Check out the link in my bio to read more!

Travel Polar will use a chapter by chapter, trip by trip structure.  So you can start from the beginning or dive into the most recent posts.

Either way, I can’t wait to share this adventure with you and hope you’ll enjoy reading everything I have to offer on Travel Polar.
