About the Project Be Part of the Team!
In 2009, renowned Arctic Explorer Eric Larsen will begin an unprecedented journey to the top, bottom and roof of the world. During a continuous 365-day period, Larsen will mount major unsupported expeditions to the North and South Poles and an expedition to the summit of Mt. Everest. This feat has never been completed in one year. To date, only 15 people (no Americans) in history have been to all three 'poles'. The expedition's objectives are:
  • Complete the first-ever expedition to Mt. Everest, the North Pole and South Pole in a continuous 365-day period
  • Promote clean energy solutions, advocate strategies for reducing carbon emissions post Kyoto 2012 and collect relevant scientific data
  • Produce a documentary film, book and educational CD-ROM that focuses on global warming, teamwork and the spirit of adventure
  • Develop a post expedition multi-media lecture series
You are an important and integral part of the Save The Poles team. With your help in spreading with word about our project, and more importantly taking action to help slow down and reverse global warning, together we can make a difference for the health of our planet.
