Hailing from Ontario, which is the Canadian province with the largest population, he loved the extreme cold from an early age, never hesitating to go off on his own, skiing in winter and kayaking in summer, exploring the many wild and wonderful areas located not far from the small community of Smooth Rock Falls where he lived.
Lapierre Sébastien (Canada)

Together with Olivier Giasson, Sébastien Lapierre has tried a Greenland crossing in spring 2010.
