Eric Larsen's Arctic Adventure:
By summer 2040, the Arctic Ocean will be ice-free. Come listen to Eric as he explains his journey and passion for the environment as well as how you can make a difference. See how Sierra Designs gear keeps him going in these harsh climates.

Renowned explorer Eric Larsen will commence an unprecedented journey to both the North and South poles and the summit of Mount Everest in a 365-day period. The Save the Poles expedition will focus on documenting the impact of global warming in these extreme environments while testing Sierra Designs' equipment and apparel. The main goal of the Save the Poles expedition and the reason for Sierra Designs' involvement is to promote solutions to the problem of global warming.

In 2009, the Save the Poles Expedition, led by renowned explorer and adventurer Eric Larsen, will commence an unprecedented journey to both the North and South poles and Mount Everest in one 356-day push. This effort has never been accomplished within a one-year period and only successfully completed by 15 people, none of whom are Americans. The expedition to the three "poles" - the top, bottom and roof of the world - will take the team to some of the most extreme places on earth while testing Sierra Designs equipment and apparel.

While these three areas are some of the most rugged, uninhabitable places on the planet, they are also among the most vulnerable to global warming.

Part of the objective behind Save the Poles and the reason behind Sierra Designs' involvement - is to promote clean energy solutions, and advocate strategies for reducing carbon emissions. Following the journey, the team plans to create a documentary film, book, and educational CD-ROM that focus on the issues related to global warming, and convey the sense of adventure that embodies this kind of amazing journey. Eric Larsen, project leader for the expedition, is a prominent Arctic explorer who has traveled to some of the most remote wilderness locales left on earth and presented his experiences to audiences all over the country.
