Wayne L. White, is a member of The Explorers Club of New York City, the Adventurers Club of Los Angeles, and president-elect of the Old Antarctic Explorers Association. He is the former three-time winter manager at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole station. In that position, Wayne was responsible for the health and safety of three crews of approximately 42 personnel, the station itself, and all science assets. This assignment was in one of the most challenging environments on the planet. This was the topic of my book “Cold: Three Winters at the South Pole.”

Prior to his time in the United States Antarctic Program, USAP Wayne was a Defense Department contractor. For over twenty years he specialized in remote assignments and lived and worked at Diego Garcia British Indian Territory, Singapore, Midway Atoll, Shemya Island Alaskan Aleutians, Iraq, Kuwait, Wake Island, Afghanistan, Saudi Arabia, and Ascension Island. Before that Wayne was involved in personal expedition-type travels to New Guinea, the Amazon, and Africa.

Wayne is a US Marine Veteran and holds a BA in Geography from California State University Fullerton and a Master’s in Public Health in Environmental Health Sciences from Tulane’s School of Public Health and Tropical Medicine. Wayne owns the Baylor-Norvel home of Rockport Texas which was built in 1868. The home contains my collection of ethnic and exploration artifacts.
