Although Angie Butler grew up in the warmer climes of sunny South Africa, her passion for the Polar Regions and travel is undimmed! Ice Tracks have featured notably in her life taking her both into the Arctic and Antarctica on several occasions. She is the author of the recently published book Ice Tracks, Today’s Heroic Age of Polar Adventure. It seemed the perfect name for the company she now runs with her business partner, Carolina Mantella. For the past 10 years Angie Butler has gathered together small groups and shared her enthusiasm for travel and adventure. It is now their aim to share the wonders of the Ends of the World with like-minded travellers. Besides running a busy office and Ice Tracks Public Relations from the UK, she is writing her second book on the great Edwardian Polar Explorer, Frank Wild soon to be published.
Carolina Mantella has been involved in Polar adventures for 9 years and brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the company. With degrees in hospitality and tourism management, Caro works her magic with clients on a one-to-one basis to ensure that all their sailing is as memorable and comfortable as possible! Caro’s adventurous spirit has taken her to live, work and travel throughout North America, Australia, Europe, South East-Asia and of course, the Polar Regions. Her passion for wildlife took her to South Georgia as a fieldworker; living aboard a small yacht she circumnavigated the island researching Giant Petrels and Wandering Albatross and fulfilling her love for natural history, adventure and photography. She lives in the heart of the mountains in Patagonia were she runs Ice Tracks Operations.
