Laura Mony

The ocean had always been part of Laura’s life. She started spending time on sailboats when she was a baby and she sailed around the world crossing several oceans when she was between 12 and 14 years old. That trip increased her passion for the ocean because she discovered its vastness and its importance on the earth’s dynamic. Laura had the chance to start traveling very young and has been all over the world alone, with her backpack, family, or friends. These trips gave her the opportunity to develop an open mind and an intellectual curiosity about the climate phenomena that govern our planet.

Born in France, she grew up in the French part of Canada where she did her bachelor’s degree in Geological Engineering. During her bachelor’s degree, she became fascinated by the polar regions and wanted to continue her studies in that field. That is why, at the end of her degree, she left Canada for Tasmania, Australia, to do her Masters in Marine and Antarctic Science. During that degree she deeply studied this fascinating continent with a specialization in geophysics and glaciology. Since 2018, she has been guiding in polar region in both Antarctica and the Arctic. She spent a lot of time in Greenland where she crossed the ice sheet using kite ski. For Laura, Antarctica’s is her first polar love, but visiting the Arctic region made her discovered a whole other, majestic, and beautiful part of the world.
