Robert Swan is the first person in history to walk to both – the South and North poles. With the Undaunted expedition, he intends to cover the final miles he needs to walk 1,500 miles across the entire breadth of Antarctica, as he already has walked more than 1,400 nautical miles and has 97 miles left to complete his goal. Because two previous attempts ended due to injuries. Despite the setbacks, Swan remains “undaunted” and is going back to finish the mission, which should begin around December 26, 2022, and conclude around January 14, 2023.
On his expeditions, Robert Swan demonstrates the viability of renewable energy technologies and sustainable practices in the planet’s most inhospitable environment. These will include generators powered by renewable biofuels as well as clothing and equipment made from recycled materials – if these solutions work there, they can work anywhere.
