Harry Keys, Glaciologist
Harry is a key glaciologist with One Ocean Expeditions for the third year in a row. He contributes extensive expertise about Antarctica’s glaciology gained when he developed and led a study of icebergs in the Ross Sea with the New Zealand Antarctic Research Programme followed by work on the Ross Ice Shelf with the US Antarctic Program. With this impressive background of Antarctic experience, collected over three decades, Harry has significant knowledge to share on the ship and enjoys showing guests Antarctic ice and its fascinating variety of facets.
Katie Murray, Historian
Katie is having a Ph.D. in polar history from the University of St Andrews in Scotland. She has a background in Museum Studies and her interests led her to South Georgia, where she operated and managed the small museum in Grytviken. This is the final resting place for Sir Ernest Shackleton, buried in the small graveyard near the whaling station. Her presentations on the ship are always well received and she delights in sharing her knowledge of polar history with all passengers.
Simon Boyes, Ornithologist
Simon gained an international reputation as an ornithologist, having guided more than 300 bird-watching tours all over the world, including numerous trips to Antarctica. He is now one of the lead ornithologists with One Ocean Expeditions, having worked with us since 2011. With a lifelong interest in observing birds and a background in Environmental Conservation, he is a driving force in helping passengers to find and identify Antarctic bird-life through presentations, on deck interpretation and guided hikes.
Mark Evans, Naturalist
In his vital role as a naturalist, Mark shares his passion for ecotourism, wildlife and the sustainability of our natural environment throughout the voyage. He is a mentor regarding eco-tourism and connecting people to the natural environment in Antarctica.

On board, Dave works tirelessly to assist passengers to capture the beauty of Antarctica through their camera lenses.
Dr Ari Friedlaender, Researcher & Professor at the Oregon State University
Ari’s specialty lies in studying the foraging ecology of marine mammals and the affects of climate change on their behaviour. He has a special interest in the Antarctic and has worked with OOE for the past four years. As an educator and a scientist, he supports
wholeheartedly the collaboration between research and tourism, believing that by informing and communicating what is happening in the region – particularly with regard to climate change – we are a step closer to protecting our fragile ecosystem.
