Totaled, Eric has traveled enough wilderness miles to circle the globe over two times. On January 3rd 2009, Eric successfully led an international team to the South Pole - covering nearly 600 miles in 41 days. Eric is now the 3rd American in history to have skied to both the North and South Poles. In 2006, Eric and Lonnie Dupre completed the first ever summer expedition to the North Pole. During this journey, the duo pulled and paddled specially modified canoes over 600 miles of shifting sea ice and open ocean. Eric's other expeditions include a 700-mile dog sled journey through northern Ontario, a six week dog sled journey in the barren lands of the Canadian Arctic, several training trips to Hudson Bay and countless dog sled races. He has also summited Mt. McKinley, ridden his bike across the United States, been a back country ranger in Alaska, a white water canoe guide in Colorado and wilderness trip leader in Hawaii. In 2008, Eric was elected as one of Outside Magazine's Eco All Stars. He was also inducted as a member of the prestigious Explorer's Club based in New York City. A gifted communicator, Eric travels extensively giving motivational and educational lectures to schools, universities, non profit organizations and corporate groups. Currently, Eric is planning and preparing for the Save the Poles expedition. Slated to begin in November 2009, Eric and his team members will travel to the North Pole, South Pole and the summit of Everest all in one year. The 'Save the Poles' expedition will journey to these last frozen places in attempt to tell their amazing story while promoting clean energy solutions to the problem of Climate Change. Eric lives in Grand Marais, Minnesota where he is busy training and planning.

Everest, the North Pole and South Pole in a continuous 365-day period * Promote clean energy solutions, advocate strategies for reducing carbon emissions post Kyoto 2012 and collect relevant scientific data * Produce a documentary film, book and educational CD-ROM that focuses on global warming, teamwork and the spirit of adventure * Develop a post expedition multi-media lecture series Get Involved - click here (http://www.ericlarsenexplore.com/you/) Contact Us at Buried Logic Brian Brawdy (http://buriedlogic.com) Michael Mauro (http://mauromedia.com/contact-us/)
