2011.1.27. Eric Larsen at REI

Larson's recent polar expedition: South Pole (47 days, Nov 2009 - Jan 2010), North Pole (51 days, Mar - Apr 2010), Everest (Sept 2010) in one year. According to him, North Pole is most difficult due to the constant shift of the ice sheet they were walking on. He talks a lot. Certainly does a good job promoting his sponsors and tries to tie in his "climate change" thesis, albeit sometimes the analogy is a bit forced. Pretty good camera work, given that he himself shot most of the footage.
