Ben Saunders Biography

Despite the fact that the majority of the planet's surface has been surveyed, there is still a role for explorers in the modern world. And Ben Saunders' tales of the polar expedition are unmistakably modern, as amazing for their technological acumen as they are for their daring. He skied solo to the North Pole in 2004 at the age of 26, updating his blog every day of the journey. Saunders is a limit explorer, whether it's how far a human can be pushed physically and psychologically, or how technology functions hundreds of miles from civilization. His message is one of empowerment, inspiration, and limitless possibility. He encourages viewers to think carefully about how to utilize the little time we all have in this world. Saunders is also a strong supporter of the environment. His travels are raising awareness for sustainable alternatives after he saw the consequences of climate change firsthand. Saunders' desire to explore and push the boundaries was not satisfied by being the youngest person to ski solo to the North Pole. He attempted to beat the speed record for a solo walk to the North Pole in 2008, but his voyage was cut short due to equipment malfunction in both 2008 and 2010. This 478-mile trip from Ward Hunt Island, Canada, to the North Pole is scheduled to continue in the spring of 2011. SOUTH, an unprecedented journey across Antarctica and back is also on his bucket list. It will be the world's longest unsupported arctic expedition at 1,800 kilometers (think 69 back-to-back marathons). [Ben's hikes give] visceral first-hand descriptions of exactly how much things are changing in the Arctic — the 'barometer of global climate change,' as humbly portrayed as the addition to the growth of an eager athlete.
