For over twenty years Mark has been operating in areas such as the Arctic circle, Antarctica and the Himalayas, along with the Norwegian, Canadian and Alaskan high Arctic. He has trained and led teams for major polar and mountain expeditions along with supporting film crews for documentaries.

In 2011 he began a solo expedition to the Geographic South Pole and once completing this he headed to the Arctic circle to complete a 200 mile solo crossing to the Geographic North Pole which became part of a Channel 5 documentary. This was followed by a third pole expedition on Mount Everest where he connected directly with over 10,000 young people around the world via Skype technology. He also developed education programs in high Arctic Canada and in Alaska where he worked with mushers who train dogs for 1000 mile races.

Mark crossed Ellesmere Island (known as the horizontal Everest) to reach the Geomagnetic Pole, twice, and supported the BBC Top Gear team to the Magnetic North Pole (96P). Outside of cold countries he represented the University of Warwick in England by delivering promotional talks in schools as he crossed Iceland on foot and then cycled from the North to the South tips of New Zealand, the deserts of Oman and the West to the East coast of America.

In 2016, during the hottest season ever recorded he returned to film an expedition to the Geographic North Pole. From there he went on to film anti poaching teams in Africa, dog teams in Alaska and then in 2019 he continued the filming with an attempt on Mount Everest. The film itself highlights the need for modern day exploration and addresses major issues on climate change. In 2024, the final part of this 5 year project comes to a conclusion on his biggest and most challenging expedition to date. The expedition is called SOLO 100.
