About Matt McFadyen
Matt McFadyen grew up in suburban Sydney fascinated by the mysteries of life beyond the confines of his home and familiar surroundings.
In December 2003, Matt McFadyen ‘the adventurer’ was born when, at the tender age of 22 years, he set sail for Antarctica in the company of five like-minded adventurers.
Taking a 43-foot yacht across the most dangerous ocean on earth was no easy task. Having to navigate fields of icebergs while beset by storms of mammoth intensity. The meticulous planning and preparatory work that had taken two years to complete paid off in January 2004 when Matt and his crew reached Commonwealth Bay Antarctica.
Two years later, at 9:25pm on April 18th 2005. 23 year old Matt McFadyen along with fellow Australian’s Rob Porcaro and Eric Phillips completed yet another adventure an 8 Day trek to reach the North Pole.
This amazing journey took Matt and the team from Sydney to Norway, and then across the frozen Arctic ocean by military plane to the floating Russian Ice Station Borneo.
Battling extreme weather conditions including blizzards, white outs, open water and temperatures 40 below Matt and the team pushed North towards the pole, which they successfully reached after covering over 20km in 14 hours of trekking.
Matt became the youngest Australian to ever complete the journey. Only five other people before him had done so.
As a young adventurer, speaker and leader Matt is second to none. His achievements at such a young age are testimony to his hard work and motivation. His passion for life, his overall presence and above all, his unique story makes him a must see individual and speaker.
