Ken Kamler Biography

Ken Kamler has practiced medicine in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth -- from the Andes mountains to the Antarctic ice to the Amazon rainforest. Many of his expeditions have been in concert with National Geographic helping teams to carry out geological research and precision mapping less traveled areas of the world. He has also served as the chief high altitude physician in research by NASA helping examine the human body’s response to high altitudes.
When not on expedition to a remote corner of the globe Kamler practices microsurgery specializing in hand reconstruction and finger reattachment. He has also chronicled his adventures in the books Doctor on Everest and Surviving the Extremes: A Doctor's Journey to the Limits of Human Endurance. His treatment of the climbers in the largest disaster to happen on Mount Everest was portrayed in the book Into Thin Air and in the IMAX film documentary Everest. He has been active in promoting the Boy Scouts of America and currently serves as their Founders District Chairman in Queens NY.
Medicine is probably the biggest adventure in the world. There are more mysterious forces in the human body than anywhere.
