Dr.Lynne Summers
Expedition Doctor
Lynne is a retired Doctor of Medicine who now works part-time in the electronic industry on environmental issues. This work emanated from seeing the effects of climate change and pollution when Lynne worked voluntarily in Malawi with disabled children for eight years and then when she trekked across Baffin Island in winter, learning about the plight of the Inuit as a result of climate change and pollution of the Arctic Ocean.
Lynne started her adventures after raising four children. She crossed Baffin Island twice in winter, skied the last degree to the North Pole, attempted to climb Aconcagua reaching 18,000ft and skied glaciers on Spitzbergen to climb Newtontoppen amongst other trips - and all starting when she was 55. In 2010, Lynne became a Fellow of the Academy of Wilderness Medicine and is actively working to promote the subject of Wilderness Medicine within the medical community, and search and rescue and travel organisations. Lynne is a member of the Explorers Club and a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society.
