Ice pilot: Nigel Greenwood

In this candid podcast, I sat down with Nigel Greenwood, a seasoned ice navigator and retired Navy officer, who kindly agreed to an impromptu interview. We talked about his journey from military college to Arctic consultancy, his role aboard commercial and expedition ships, and the importance of experience and common sense in icy waters. He shared memorable stories of the Race to Alaska, the realities of rescue operations, and what it means to be prepared. I learned a lot from our conversation and felt reassured to have someone like Nigel aboard as we head north.
