EP-210 SURVIVING THE ARCTIC: Mark Synnott’s 7,000-Mile Journey Through Ice and History

In this episode of the 10Adventures Podcast, we’re joined by Mark Synnott — legendary climber, Arctic explorer, author, and filmmaker. From summiting Everest to sailing 7,000 miles through the Arctic Passage, Mark shares stories of extreme endurance, raw connection to nature, and his mission to retrace the doomed 1845 Franklin Expedition.

Mark dives into the emotional and physical challenges of his journey, featured in his new book Into the Ice and the accompanying National Geographic documentary Lost in the Arctic. He recounts surviving sea ice traps, navigating uncharted territories, and forging deep connections with his crew and family during the months spent together at sea.

We also explore how Franklin’s story lives on in Inuit oral history, the allure of the unknown, and the profound transformation that comes from pushing human limits in the most remote corners of the Earth.
