Protecting the Antarctic Treaty
"Greetings from the South Pole"
January 1st, 2010, R.Swan
The challenge: What is '2041'?
In the year 2041 the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty could potentially be modified or amended. Our aim is to work towards the continuing protection of the Antarctic Treaty so that the last great wilderness on earth is never exploited.

The expedition: Going to Ushuaia March 2010
The location is Antarctica, the last great wilderness on earth. It is the world’s fifth largest continent; the coldest, the driest, and the windiest on earth. Twice the size of Australia, Antarctica is east of the sun, west of the moon and south of everything else. The 5.4 million square miles of ice covering the continent contains 90% of the world’s ice and 70% of the world’s fresh water. Antarctica is a frozen, windswept continent, so hostile and remote that there are no permanent residents.
In March 2010, Robert Swan and the 2041 team will lead an international team of corporate leaders, environmentalists, entrepreneurs, teachers and young people on a journey through the Antarctic Peninsula, visiting incredible locations and sharing insights and personal experiences of this unique continent along the way.
