(paragraph 4)

On 19th January 2009, 20-year-old Clmence Cadario,

from France, and 18-year-old Chilean-born Nicolas

Valdivieso skied over 110 kilometres to the South

Pole. They are among the youngest people ever to do

this. At their side was Mike Horn, a South African-born adventure traveller and the founder of the Young

Explorers Programme (YEP). Two months before

Horns trip to the South Pole, he and six other YEP

participants, none older than 20 years old, had gone to

the Antarctic Peninsula. Young people who complete

upcoming YEP training courses will join Horn on

future travels. These trips will include explorations ofChinas Gobi Desert, the North Pole, East Africa and

the Himalayas.

Among YEPs goals, according to its website, is foryoung people to see the world, share their experiences

with others and become, in effect, ambassadors on

behalf of our fragile and endangered environment.

To people familiar with his career, Mike Horns

establishment of YEP was unsurprising. For over a

decade, he has explored isolated and difficult terrain.

Horn always does this without the use of motorisedtransport. In 1997, he walked from the Pacific Ocean

to the source of the Amazon River in the Andes

Mountains of Peru. Then, he travelled 7,000 kilometres

by river to the Atlantic Ocean on a hydrospeed a

simple board that a rider propels and steers with his or

her feet and hands. Two years later, in a trip that lasted

a year and a half, Horn travelled around the world

along the equator, beginning from the west coast of

Africa. On that trip, Horn travelled by walking,

swimming, mountain-biking and boating. Afterwards,

Horn travelled 20,000 kilometres around the Arctic

Circle without even using dogs to pull the sledges.

Now in his mid-40s, Horn is sharing his enthusiasm,

knowledge and experience with a new generation of

explorers, who will in turn promote responsible

adventure travel and environmental awareness.
