Environment
It has already been 24 years since we first began proposing and promoting to designate the Aysen region as a “Reserve of Life.” Since then we have seen significant progress, including similar efforts in the Panguipulli area and occasionally even attempts in Argentine Patagonia. From the beginning we also were well aware that the entirety of Chilean Patagonia has certain conditions, values and demands that are similar to our own in Aysen.

Borge Ousland is one of history’s most accomplished polar explorers. He is the first person to ski across both the North Pole and South Pole alone. His last big solo trip, in 2001, was an 82-day odyssey that saw him cross the North Pole, from Russia to Canada, walking, skiing and swimming. He told National Geographic that the trip taught him to “never give up.”
This month, Ousland is leading an expediton across the Northern Patagonia Ice Field. This authentic living legend also skied across the Northern Patagonia ice over 17 days in November 2009.

We re-publish excerpts from that interview here:
