Mark Wood FRGS (born 1966), is a British explorer, professional speaker, expedition leader, and author.

He subsequently became an explorer, and expedition leader where he has trained and led teams for major Polar and mountain expeditions in extreme environments such as the Arctic Circle, the Himalayas, Antarctica, Alaska, and the Canadian and Norwegian High Arctic to raise awareness of climate change and creates very large virtual classrooms to talk to schools and children about these issues.

He was in the military for a number of years and was awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Golden Jubilee Medal.

His documentaries range from: the life of dog teams in Alaska, surviving solo in the Polar extremes, the reality of global warming and its effect on the Arctic Ocean en route to the North Pole.
