Antarctica 2041: my quest to save the Earth's last wilderness
by Robert Swan
Robert Swan is the first person to have walked to both the South and North Poles. His adventures were inspired by the movie Scott of the Antarctic. Swan's "In the Footsteps of Scott" expedition retraced the 900 mile trek of Scott to the South Pole. Swan had a ship crushed by the Arctic ice before he was able to successfully walk to the North Pole. His polar adventures turned him into a committed conservationist. Swan began with a clean up of a dumping area from many previous Antarctic expeditions. His work in the polar regions got him invited to several environmental summits. Swan believes that we can do much to avert climatological disaster. The year 2041 is noted for the next renewal of the Antarctic Treaty. Will we follow his lead and save the Earth by 2041?
