45,000 km by Human Power: Small Steps toward Big Change

On January 6, 2009 this intrepid team of young Canadians began the first stage of their self-supported, human-powered expedition from the South Pole to the North Pole via the Americas. If successful, they will become the first to achieve this remarkable feat. No doubt the adventure of a lifetime, but their true motivation is propelled by an even greater cause.

Skiing, cycling, kayaking, climbing, canoeing, and hiking along this multi-stage, round-the-world journey, their goal is to explore emerging frontiers of ecological sustainability, to engage your participation with sophisticated technology that will capture the experience remotely and share it online, and to empower you – armed with all the knowledge, courage, and inspiration we hope to offer – to help build a blueprint for a truly sustainable world.
