What does adventure mean to you?
For ultrarunner and Polar Ambassador Karel Sabbe, adventure means running over 3,000 kilometers in a single month. For others, it’s about packing light, hopping on a bike, and seeing where the road leads.
This edition of Polar Journal celebrates the thrill of exploring the outdoors—where a packed bike, a trailhead, and a few essentials can spark unforgettable stories. We honor the quiet moments, the unexpected detours, and the incredible adventures that unfold when we step into the wild.
