Rob Gauntlett and James Hopper ,the youngest Britons to climb Everest, are set on a new world record, to travel from Pole to Pole under their own steam, a distance of 17,000 miles. As they travel down the Americas, they intend to highlight a number of environmental issues, on which they will post interactive resources and podcasts. There will also be two special units of work, focusing on the Poles.They hope that the expedition will be an inspiration to other young people.Their website is developing, but there is already a great promotional video. I’m going to use this as part of my recap for my disastrous Antarctica place lesson. The expedition starts in March 2007. Good luck to both.
