To attempt for the first time the Patagonian crossing – from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, along more than 660 kilometres, without external support.
In our double kayak we will navigate the Chilean fjords to penetrate the Southern Patagonian Ice Field along the Glacier Jorge Montt. From here, we will pull the boat as a sledge to reach Glacier Upsala, following the route that Eric Shipton and his three companions opened more that 40 years ago. Finally and paddling again, we will cross Lake Argentino and descend the Santa Cruz river.
To check out the effects of climate change in the so called “Third Pole”, one of the most sensitive areas of our planet and a strategic reservoir of drinkable water, bringing this issue to the attention of young people.
To explore unknown lands pushing further our limits and overcoming our fears.
