L'explorateur Ben Saunders veut vous faire sortir de chez vous ! Pas parce que c'est toujours plaisant ou amusant, mais parce que c'est l'essence même de la vie, “le nectar que nous pouvons récolter de nos jours et heures sur terre.” La prochaine aventure de Saunders ? Essayer d'être le premier au monde à rallier à pied la côte Antarctique au Pôle Sud aller-retour.

In 2004, Ben Saunders became the youngest person ever to ski solo to the North Pole. In 2013, he’ll set out on another record-breaking expedition, this time to be the first to walk from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole, and back again. Full bio »
