Torry Larsen

Torry Larsen (born 11 April 1971 in Ålesund) is a Norwegian adventurer and Arctic explorer.

1992 he met fellow adventurer-to-be Rune Gjeldnes, also of Møre og Romsdal. Both Gjeldnes and Larsen served in the Norwegian Naval Special Operations Command.

Together with Gjeldnes, Torry Larsen travelled across Greenland in 1996 – 2500 km in 79 days – unsupported by helicopters. In 2000, they completed the "Arctic Ocean 2000" expedition – a 109-day, 2,100 kilometer trip that started in Siberia, crossing the North Pole and reaching Canada. They became the first to cross the Arctic Ocean without resupply.
