Before the expedition

The retrieved 3 November 2009 interview introduces Eric Larsen before his departure for the Save the Poles expedition. It describes a project linking the South Pole, North Pole and Everest within a year. The conversation covers earlier expeditions, environmental purpose, training, equipment and the work required to organise the journey.

A conversation before its outcome

The original capture preserves the interview’s questions, answers and credits; this summary neither reproduces the conversation nor presents the current magazine as its interviewer. Eric Larsen
