Frensham Heights Curiosity Lecture Series: Mark Agnew

Mark Agnew and his teammates made history when they kayaked the Northwest Passage. Mark will regale the audience with tales of polar bears, sea ice, storms and near-death experiences. He will share a framework to discover your passion and ultimately live a happier, healthier life.

The Arctic adventure earned him the title ‘European Adventurer of the Year’, and the endeavour was ranked in the top 10 Greatest Kayaking Expeditions of the Century.

Mark was born and bred in Edinburgh. He moved to Hong Kong in his 20s, where he worked as the Editor for adventure sports at the South China Morning Post. He attempted to row the Atlantic in 2016 and 2018. Each failure taught him valuable lessons that he applied in the Arctic. He now lives in London and works as a school and corporate speaker, journalist and author. His book telling the full story of the Northwest Passage is coming out in June 2025.

Suitable for all ages.
