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.

Lhotse

1994 8516m (27939ft) Himalayas, Nepal

Summit: May 16, 1994

The fourth highest peak in the world. This was Ed's first tandem (two Peak) ascent. Rob Hall and Ed had stood on the summit of Everest seven days earlier and then made a three day alpine-style ascent.

"I'd seen hundreds of photos of the south side of the Everest 'horseshoe' - the gigantic cirque formed at the head of the Khumbu Glacier by Everest and its neighboring peak, Lhotse ... And, of course, when I'd climbed Everest from the south in 1991, I'd spent a lot of time staring at Lhotse over my shoulder. I as well aware of the route up Lhotse hsared exactly the same path as the route on Eerest for 60 percent of the way."
