Kari Herbert
Kari Herbert’s first language was Inuktun - the Thule dialect of Greenlandic - a result of her polar explorer father Sir Wally Herbert taking her to live with the Polar Inuit of NW Greenland at the age of ten months. Kari is a travel writer and photographer and has been published in magazines and newspapers all over the world, including the Sunday Times, the Independent/Independent on Sunday, the Guardian/Observer newspapers, as well as Geographical, Traveller, Madame Figaro and Elle magazines amongst others. Kari has just completed her first book: a travelogue/memoir entitled The Explorer’s Daughter – Return to the Arctic for Viking/Penguin, which is due to be released November 2004. She is currently at work on her next book: The Heart of the Hero - The Women Behind Polar Explorers. Documentary films of both books are under negotiation. Kari has had exhibitions of her photography in London and Europe, and her photographic documentary of Tibetan life in exile is about to tour South Africa. She is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society and a member of the Explorers Club (New York). She lives in London.
