Explorations

Marek Kamiński has been travelling for more than 40 years. His first alone trip was from home city Gdańsk to Łódź, when he was 8 years old.

In 1993 he took part in the „Trans Greenland Expedition” along with Wojciech Moskal, which was the first Polish crossing of the Island (600 km in 35 days).[2]

He gained popularity in 1995, when throughout few months he managed to get to the both Poles. First, on 23 May 1995 he got to the North Pole with Wojciech Moskal. Expedition lasted 72 days and included 770 km of walking through Arctic.[2] After few months, on 27 December 1995, Marek Kamiński solitarly got to the South Pole, becoming the first person in the history to see both Poles in one year.[3] The journey to the South Pole took 53 days during which Marek walked 1400 km. [https://nowahistoria.interia.pl/kartka-z-kalendarza/news-27-grudnia-1995-r- marek-kaminski-dotarl-do-bieguna-poludniow,nId,1580245] This achievement granted him a Guiness World Record.

In 1996 Marek Kamiński organised expedition called „Solo Trans Antarctica”, during which he attempted solo crossing of the continent. The expedition ended on the South Pole, after 1450 km.[4]

In 1997/1998 Marek Kamiński accompanied by Leszek Cichy, Anna Czerwińska, Czesław Jakubczyk, Jacek Jezierski and Wojciech Ostrowski took part in the Ellsworth Mountains expedition, during which explorers reached the summit of Mount Vision on the 1st of January 1998.[5] In 1998, accompanied by Borge Ousland, Marek Kamiński reched the summit of Huayna Potosí in the Bolivian Andes. In 1999 Kamiński crossed the Atantic Ocean abroad the yacht ‘Gemini’, accompanied by Andrzej Piotrowski.[6]

Again in 2000 Marek Kamiński crossed the Greenland island creating ‘Purmo Greenland Expedition’. Kamiński was accompanied by Wojciech Ostrowski, with whom he traveled 600 km in only 13 days, which was one of the fastest documented Greenland traverse in history.[7]

Marek Kamiński took part in ‘Amazon Source 2000’, expedition to the source of Amazon, sponsored by National Geographic Society. Intention of the expedition was to designate proper source of the Amazon to correct its official length.[8]

In 2001 Marek Kamiński for the first time travelled to North Pole as a guide for Polish turists (‘North Pole 2001’).[2]

In 2004 Marek Kamiński managed to reach both Poles in one year with disabled Polish boy Jan Mela. It was a remarkable expedition as Mela was at that time 15 years old and after an accident where he lost one leg and one arm. The Arctic journey began on 4 April 2004 in Spitzbergen and finished on 24 April reaching the North Pole. The Antarctic journey started on 30 November 2004 and finished 31st December 2004 reaching the South Pole. Jan Mela became the youngest and also the first disabled person to reach the Poles.[9]

Marek Kamiński celebrated the 25th anniversary of Solidarity movement in 2005 by a five-day trip ‘Around the Baltic by dinghy’ with Mirosław Kukuła and Wojciech Ostrowski.[2]

In 2006 and 2007 Marek Kamiński completed two expeditions „Baby on Board” with his daughter Pola and wife Katarzyna. First expedition was though Poland following Poland's longest river Vistula. Second expedition was abroad, travelling with family through Norway. The idea in this project was to show people that it is possible to travel even with small children.[10]

In 2009/2010 Marek Kamiński realised a Vistula River Expedition. It consisted of two kayak trips, one in summer and one in winter, along Poland's longest river. The summer expedition lasted almost one month, from 25 August 2009 to 27 September 2009. The winter expedition in 2010 lasted 15 days in which explorer swam around 950 km.[11] The main idea behind the Vistula Expedition was to inform about dangers of polluting the water and to also to promote Vistula River.[12]

During the expedition „Third Pole” in 2015, he traveled on foot more than 4000 km from Immanuel Kant grave in Kaliningrad to St. Jacob grave in Santiago de Compostella. He traveled as a Camino pilgrim for around 100 days, from the Pole of the Mind, to the Pole of the Faith. Based on the expedition, the film „Pilgrim” was made which shows the way, hardships of the journey and conversations with people that Marek met on his way.[13]

In 2018 Marek Kamiński took part in No Trace Expedition. He travelled 30 000 km in 144 days using electric car Nissan Leaf. Journey started on 24 May 2018 in Zakopane and finished on 15 October 2018 in Warsaw. The project showcased new concept of travelling by using new technologies with no negative impact on environment (zero CO2 emissions). Journey went through 9 countries (Poland, Lithuania, Lativia, Estonia, Russia, Mongolia, China, South Korea and Japan).[14]

In the winter of 2019 new concept of No Trace Expedition is planned to happen. Marek Kamiński plans to travel around the world with electric car, using the newest technologies including robotics.
