Hangin' with the adelie penguins in Antarctica

That’s me (James Dziezynski) in the green jacket. It’s quite normal that I travel with a pack of friendly penguins, in this case a crew of Adelies in Antarctica. When I’m not exploring the ends of the Earth, I can most often be found climbing mountains, mountain biking or simply enjoying the fresh air of my home turf in Colorado.

Boulder is home to me, my cat Xanadu and my border collie Fremont. They wanted me to remind you I have written for such magazines as Outside, Backpacker, National Geographic Adventure, Hooked on the Outdoors, Elevation Outdoors, Boulder Weekly, Mountain Bike and 5280. Those guys, always trying to make me look good. I’ve also written a nifty hiking guide, Best Summit Hikes in Colorado by Wilderness Press.

I swam in the Arctic Ocean before I ever set foot in the Pacific and I visited Antarctica before Europe, two things I’m oddly proud of. If you want to know more about me, visit my Facebook page and enjoy all the embarrassing photos my friends have uploaded.
