Polar Explorer Robert Swan will be giving an inspirational talk, ‘Challenge, Adventure and the Global Environment’, about his record breaking expeditions, as well as talking about his astonishing feat of removing over 1000 tonnes of rubbish from Antarctica, on the 25th October 2006 at the Royal Geographical Society, near Hyde Park, London at 7pm (bar open from 6pm).
By the age of 33, Robert Swan OBE had walked to both the North and the South Poles. His 900 mile journey 'In the Footsteps of Scott', across the treacherous Antarctic ice cap to the South Pole, stands as the longest unassisted walk ever made. In 2003, Swan circumnavigated Africa on his ‘2041’ yacht inspiring and being inspired by communities and young people on the issues of HIV/AIDS, sustainability and the environment. Recently, Swan has led four international teams to the Antarctica (Inspire Antarctic Expeditions) with IAE-5 planned for 2007.
Caroline Stuart Taylor, Chief Executive of the Ski Club of Great Britain said, “We are excited to have Robert Swan as the new President of the Ski Club and hope he will drive forward the Club’s concern for the preservation of Alpine environments. Swan is a fantastic communicator, sharing his passion for leadership and challenge. We are certain this talk will appeal to everyone, young and old".
Swan’s lecture on 25th October will inspire anyone who has an interest in wintersports, the environment and leadership, as well as those who are interested in how people find the motivation to achieve their dreams.
