MARIO GONZÁLEZ REY
Biologist and explorer
Biologist, certified polar guide and ACA kayak instructor. I split my time between guiding in Antarctica and Greenland and basing myself in the Picos de Europa, Asturias, between trips.
My work documents polar and mountain expeditions from the inside: the Arctic light over Ilulissat, wildlife encounters in the field, and the slower, quieter moments of expedition life that most cameras never see. I’ve guided and photographed across Antarctica, Greenland, Guatemala, Turkey and several more countries and mountain ranges across the world.
Alongside my field work, I’m a Travel Operations Specialist at Passporter Technologies, a Valencia-based travel tech company designing experiences for the Spanish-speaking market. It’s given me an operator’s eye for the logistics behind every trip — booking systems, supplier coordination, and what actually makes an expedition or trip run smoothly.
