The Climate Adventurer
Bernice Notenboom is one of the world's most prominent explorers focusing on the climate crisis. She translates complex scientific data from the Earth's most remote regions into compelling stories for a global audience. She splits her time between the Netherlands and the mountains of Fernie, British Columbia. Bernice Notenboom's latest work and documentaries focus heavily on the intersection of extreme survival and climate action. Here is the summary of her newest book and where to find her films:

New Book: Survival Mind (2025)
Released in October 2025, Survival Mind moves beyond technical survival gear to explore the "inner equipment" of the human brain.

The Core Question: Why do some people survive extreme life-and-death situations while others do not? Is it instinct, mental strength, or pure luck?

Scientific Insight: Notenboom combines hair-raising personal stories from her expeditions (including a near-fatal accident in Siberia) with neuroscience to explain how the brain makes decisions under intense pressure. Key Takeaway: The book is designed to help readers build resilience and "mental vitality" for everyday life and the growing challenges of the climate crisis. It has been praised by physiologists and critics for its clear, personal style that makes you feel like an expedition member yourself.
