The Next Endeavor:
Baffin Island Expedition 2007

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 Anatartic.

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.

Cho Oyo

1994 8201m (26750ft) Himalayas, Tibet

Summits: Oct. 6, 1994; Sept. 29, 1996

Cho Oyu (Goddess of the Turquoise) is the sixth highest mountain in the world. It is located on the border of Tibet (China) and Nepal just west of Mount Everest. Just west of Cho Oyo, at about the location of Advanced Base Camp, is the Nangpa La, an 18,000-foot glacier pass which is a main trade route between the Khumbu Sherpas and Tibet.

"The top of Cho Oyu is an immense plateau, three or four football fields long. From the top of the normal route, you have to cross most of this plateau, taking nearly 30 minutes to get to the tiny nipple of a summit, which is festooned with wands, prayer flags, and other mementos of previous ascents."
