Greenland 2010 Legacy Crossing

Quote1 After the North Pole last spring, and in preparation for my South Pole Amudsen/Scott centennial mission in November, I wanted an interim trip over what many consider the “third Pole”. Greenland, in terms of climate change, holds as much drama as the other two—if not more. Its melting icecap sits on solid ground, above sea level, and releases fresh water into the ocean. This presents a triple threat to life as we know it on the planet.

For one, it impacts the thermo haline circulation, which affects the north Atlantic drift (the Gulf Stream). The higher density of cold water, and the light mass of fresh water (as compared to salt water) slows down the conveyer belt action of the gulf stream which has been regulating climates, surface temperatures, and crop cycles, not to mention plankton food distribution, deep water upwelling and sea life across the Atlantic since the last ice age. In other words it is a vital regulator in the way we have based our food economies in the northern hemisphere for the last 15,000 years.

But melting icecaps also raise ocean levels. And the Greenland icecap, like the Antarctica peninsula icecap—its sibling to the south—has the potential to raise ocean levels by as much as 20 feet. Exactly when, no one can say for sure. But some predict that it could happen within as little as a century. Most scientists agree that we will see a rise of about four feet by then, which represents a loss of about four hundred feet of global coastal areas. What’s more, low-rise areas—such as Vietnam, today the world’s second largest rice producing country—could see its plains flooded and its food production destroyed. Greenland, in that way, can affect a lot more than just the Northern hemisphere.

Finally, it is alleged that the Greenland landmass stores more methane in frozen form that there is CO2 in the atmosphere. As a greenhouse gas, methane is 21 times more potent than CO2. If thawed and released, this amount of methane would have a catastrophic and exponential acceleration of the world’s temperature rise, challenging human life as we know it on most of the globe…

Greenland, in that sense, is truly in the front lines of climate change. Almost immediately after the North Pole last spring, I started formulating the thought of crossing this mystical ice mass, first crossed by Nansen in its East/West traverse in 1888. And I began planning. Only this time, the crossing will be in its South North direction, covering approximately 2,300 kilometers from Narsaq to Qaanaaq using kites and skis.

Quote2 While a very different mission, many lessons learned from the Pole will be applied in Greenland. This will also make for great training for my seminal South Pole crossing next winter, which I hope to accomplish unsupported over 85 days and 2,500 kilometers. But that’s another story! Eric McNair-Landry, a young polar guide and son of my good friend and polar legend Matty McNair, will accompany me on this trip. I hope this will be entertaining and educational at the same time, while encouraging a deeper connection will our host planet, and the urgent need for a global commitment to a sustainable future. Please follow the blog and join us on this ride! Here we go again…

Sebastian

Born lucky to a musical family and loving parents who taught me that love and respect for all living things is the best revenge--growing up in France and Britain, you'd have to draw inspiration from dysfunction.

Graduated Summa Cum Laude from UCLA ('87) with a major in film. Fine art photographer and director of multiple award-wining commercials and music videos through the 90's--with clients ranging from beauty to jeans, soft drinks and sportswear.

A passion for the medium brought professional emphasis to Celebrity portraiture: each face holds a million stories...

An adrenaline addiction to the extreme includes skiing windsurfing, rock climbing, and the usual suspects: parachuting, scuba diving, and thumb wrestling.

A personal commitment to fight for (1) the protection of the environment, (2) universal access to clean water as a basic human right, and (3) a world safe from nuclear, biological and chemical weapons, has lead to a seat on the Board of Directors of President Gorbachev's Global Green USA--the US arm of Green Cross International (www.globalgreen.org)--and the relentless pursuit of a sustainable future.

    Sebastian,


    I come to you asking for your kind assist....please...when chance allows read my new blog postings and sign the petitions for the wolves...we can not allow congress to strip them of their rights under the endangered species act.... Please spread the word to everyone who truly cares about the wolves.   We must bind together and protect their rights....it is so unfair that they must endure this prejudice and hatred.  Much love to you ...all ways....you are in my heart, thoughts & prayers.

    until...


    Love & blessings,


    Brea
