Explorer to make back-to-back journey to North and South Pole | Gadling.com
Upon arriving at his [in Antarctica], Wood will be picked up by plane and shuttled back to Chile, where he'll immediately set off for Canada to start the second stage of the expedition. That will entail crossing another 700 miles of ice, over an estimated 65 day period, culminating with his arrival at the North Pole. If he is successful, he'll then be plucked from the ice once again, and flown directly to an environmental conference that will focus on the effects of climate change....While on the trail, he'll burn in excess of 8000 calories per day, enduring bitterly cold temperatures, whiteout conditions, and treacherous terrain.
Wood is making this journey to raise awareness of the impact of climate change on our planet and he is asking for support from others to help him achieve his goal.
