I was born on 22 April 1961 in Genk (Belgium), married with Lemmens Christine and father of a beautiful daughter and son. I work at the logistic department of Kautex Textron BeNeLux and I’m also the manager of the home nursing company “De Verpleegster” of my wife. I like adventures, sensational moments and challenges…

At the age of 35 it was the first time that I went skiing with our friends Herwig and Ines. At that time my children were very young and motivated to learn skiing. Twice a year I go on a ski vacation with my children.

My first expedition in 2005 with my friend Herwig was a trip to Antarctica together with Dixie Dancecoer who gave some very interesting lectures. From that moment I was inspired by the great nature of Antarctica. More and more I kept thinking to discover this unspoiled nature. But there is a big difference between thinking and do…

Quotes about Luc from his coadventurers:

"During our travels through Antarctica we forged strong bonds of friendship. Luc Reynders, our Belgian friend, was a tower of inner strength and set a great example with his resilience. I wish him well in his future endeavours."

"Luc's pain threshold is worryingly high. By the time we reached the polar plateau he had big blisters, frost bitten fingers, and swollen legs; yet stopping never seemed to be considered. Luc was also our resident poet. While the rest of us feasted on ipods to keep us going, Luc listened to nothing. He said he wanted to enjoy every bit of the silence, every bit of Antarctica."

"I was very pleased to have Luc as a client on the ALE ski South Pole - Messner start expedition. He was a quiet, thoughtful team member who always gave a little extra. It was obvious to see his strength and determination shine through as he pushed through the final grueling miles to the geographic south pole. Luc was an integral factor in our team's ability to reach this incredible goal."
