FJELLMENN®
THE GUILD
WE ARE EXPLORERS
We are a small and exclusive group of Fjellmenn from around the world following the steps of our ancestors and honoring the long Norse tradition of Arctic, Polar, and Mountain wilderness Explorations.
We are extensively trained, experienced, exceptionally fit, and resilient.
WE ARE EXPEDITION LEADERS
We provide extensive expeditionary experience, military and otherwise, to lead you on expeditions through the wildest, harshest, and most remote environments on earth.
We are exceptionally well equipped, prepared, and naturally born leaders.
WE ARE WILDERNESS INSTRUCTORS
We train you in basic to advanced skills in any arctic, polar or mountain wilderness activity, from survival in Svalbard and kayaking in Alaska, to scuba diving or mountaineering in Antarctica.
We are skilled in a wide variety or disciplines, highly qualified, and great educators.
WE ARE MOUNTAIN MEN. WE ARE THE NORTHERN EXPLORERS GUILD.
