Next Stop: South Island

The Pangaea Expedition is making a welcome visit to the fjords of the South Island, heading straight over from a brief stop in South Africa. Eight New Zealand explorers will meet the crew of Pangaea in the untouched fjords of the South, on their way to Antarctica. The Pangaea Expedition started on 18 October last year, when Mike Horn set sail from  Argentina on the first stage of his epic journey to Antarctica. His route will take him through Australasia, China, Russia, to the North Pole, then across Canada, North America, South America and back to Argentina. Mr. Horn is enthusiastic about his stop in NZ. “I’ve heard many wonderful things about this country with its culture and traditions so different to those I have ever witnessed before,” explained Mike. “Through Young Explorer Programme we will sensitize the youths towards the appreciations of the ‘unspoiled naturally beauty’ that beholds us in the fiord lands – these words so rarely mentioned in today’s world.”
