So I'm not going to be a scientist or a glaciologist, of course. But the idea of this project is obviously to keep my mountaineer cap and to go very high to get ice samples at the destinations of my next expeditions. A first test was carried out in Peru, a second on Annapurna IV, and we will continue this collection in 2026 to contribute to research on glacier biodiversity.

Because no ascent is possible without those who believe in it
become a sponsorEach expedition requires months of preparation, logistics, and coordination. Nothing happens alone: the support of sponsors allows these projects to come to life and go ever further.
