Jonathan Walton is an explorer, scientist and the current president of the UK Antarctic Club. With over 50 years dedicated to exploring and surveying Antarctica, he has been honored with the prestigious Polar Medal from the British Antarctic Survey, recognizing his outstanding achievements in polar research. 

For much of his professional career, Jonathan worked as a land surveyor in Antarctica, studying the dynamics of ice shelves and glaciers. Jonathan has spent over 400 nights living in a tent and traveled more than 6,000 miles on skidoos. As a glaciologist with the British Antarctic Survey, he has made invaluable contributions to polar research on the “White Continent.” 

Jonathan comes from a family of explorers—his father, Kevin, and son, Finn, have both devoted considerable time to working in Antarctica.
