Bernice Notenboom

Bernice Notenboom (born 1 June 1962, in Rotterdam) is a Dutch journalist and film producer, described in several sources as a "professional adventuress" on account of her well publicised expeditions to some of the most environmentally stressed corners of our planet. She has come to wider prominence through her succession of Documentary films, warning against the perils of Global warming. She is a long-standing contributor to National Geographic. In January 2008 she hit the headlines in the Netherlands as the first Dutch woman to travel to the South Pole on skis, an enterprise which involved a ski-trek of several hundred kilometers (>500 miles). The next year she became only the second Dutch woman to climb to the top of Mount Everest.
