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.

Nanga Parbat

2003 8,125m (26,658 ft) Himalayas, Pakistan

Attempt: June 2001

Summit: June 23, 2003

Ed attempted Nanga Parbat in June 2001. After waiting through several weeks of heavy snow fall, he decided it just wasn't going to happen for him this year. He will return again. Nanga Parbat is the ninth highest mountain in the world and is known as the 'Killer Mountain' because of its difficulty.


"What a relief and a joy to have safely climbed this mountain, one of the most hardest and dangerous in the world! And to sit on the summit, where my heroes Buhl and Messner had stood, with J.-C., now fast becoming my closest friends ... With Nanga Parbat, I had released a monkey that had clutched my back for two years."
