How is global warming really changing our world?
Ed Viesturs is joining renowned Polar explorer and dogsledder Will Steger this spring to expose how global warming is destroying the delicate environment of the Artic.
Ed and Will, along with Sir Richard Branson and his son Sam, will travel 1,200 miles across Baffin Island, collecting stories, images and sound to post on globalwarming101.com.
The impact of global warming often goes unnoticed throughout the world. Through this expedition, the GlobalWarming 101 Foundation hopes to give those impacted in the Artic a voice by educating all of us about the damage that already exists.

1997 8047m (26400ft) Karakoram Range
Attempt: July 9, 1997
Summit: July 15, 2003
Veikka and Ed made a two day climb from basecamp (still acclimatized from Everest). On the summit day they stopped just 150ft from the true highest point. The simple traverse was threatened by severely unstable snow. It was early in the morning and we felt quite strong, but the risk was too great to continue simply to gain a few more feet in altitude.
