More people have walked on the moon than have visited many of the places that Jill Heinerth has seen on Earth. From the most dangerous technical dives deep inside underwater caves, to searching for never-before-seen ecosystems inside giant Antarctic icebergs, Heinerth’s curiosity and passion about our watery planet is the driving force in her life.

In her visually stunning presentations, she encourages audiences to reach beyond their limitations, challenge the unknown, and overcome their fears, while sharing practical lessons on risk management, discovery learning, failure, and collaboration.

From desert oases of the Sahara to Baffin Bay's cold waters, Heinerth has been the hands and eyes for climatologists, archaeologists, and engineers worldwide. A bestselling author, her first book Into the Planet, was lauded by the Wall Street Journal, Oprah Magazine, and the New York Times. Heinerth is a fellow of the International Scuba Diving Hall of Fame and serves as the first Explorer-in-Residence for the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.
