Born in a country that no longer exists, Prokop has been on the move since 2010, having lived in 7 foreign countries before finding his new home, Iceland! As Prokop says, “you can guide people on ice and do it year round, what’s better than that?” Since arriving in Iceland in 2016, Prokop has guided on multiple outlet glaciers in the south east of the country, where the mighty Vatnajokull ice cap is situated. Or as he calls it, “the 3rd heaviest ice-cube in the world.”
In addition to being a fully certified AIMG Hard ice guide, Prokop is a NOLS Wilderness First Responder, a PROAOA class 4 white water raft guide and a D5L Fritidsskipper motor boat operator. These qualifications allowed him to guide in places as diverse as the Canadian Rockies and western Norway but he always knew “unique, one of a kind” Iceland would be his home. Prokop is also a passionate advocate for protecting the environment and sharing best practices on the climate crisis. In his spare time, he loves to go fishing or to unwind in one of many Icelandic hot springs.
