Eva Molin Westerholm
Expedition Leader
Expertise
Eva is a general naturalist with a keen sense of adventure. She is an avid bird watcher with a deep knowledge of the ecosystem we are traveling in. No detail is too small to investigate in the natural world.
Impact
Eva started out as a mess girl aboard a ship in Svalbard – she has rarely stopped exploring since! After completing her studies in social anthropology at the University of Gothenburg and the University of Sydney, she has risen through the ranks to become a sought-after expedition leader.
Style
Eva would love for you to feel inspired to learn and see something completely unexpected. Travelling in the Arctic requires patience and humour – Eva has both.
“Svalbard is very intimate and the best way to explore it is with a smaller vessel, in the way of Secret Atlas.”
— Eva Molin Westerholm
Questions & Answers
My most transformative travel experience
Meeting the grey whales in the lagoons of Baja California was a very unique experience. Animals that were hunted close to extinction are now willingly interacting with humans and their vessels. On top of that, Baja California is also one of the most diverse places on the planet. Awe inspiring!
My exploration inspiration
One figure in history that inspires me is Alexander von Humboldt. His groundbreaking thoughts and ideas about interconnectedness are still part of the way we see the world today.
My dream adventure
I will be paddling the Thomsen River on Banks Island in the Canadian High Arctic. The Arctic tundra is an incredible biome and Banks Island has one of the – if not the – largest concentrations of muskox in the world. The wildflowers are vibrant during the short window of summer.
