Founder and Director of Polar Museum Foundation
Ms. Rebecca Lee
Rebecca Lee has transformed herself from a professional graphic designer, painter, photographer and writter, to a polar researcher in the last 30 years. She is now working closely with polar scientists in the Mainland to conduct continuous research on the environment. She is also responsible for publicizing the findings to other scientists worldwide to identify ways to protect the environment.
Pursuit of innovation has resulted in her being recognized as the first Hong Kong female explorer to reach the Arctic, Antarctic and Mount Everest. She has published more than 10 books on her own, organized educational exhibitions and produced TV documentaries about the world we live in.
Her personality is seen in her courage, resilience, and survival in extreme conditions and adversity. She has reached the Arctic 10 times, Antarctica 7 times and 4 times to Mount Everest region. Her works show her true love for the earth and mankind. |
