The most hardcore man on the planet

no surprises, is an ex-Matie.

Mike Horn, what a legend. He makes that Kingsley Holgate adventurer/buffoon look like a fat slob (no surprises there actually). First man to Hydrospeed the Amazon, after paragliding off Aconcagua to get there. what a legend.

Anyway, whilst waiting to secure the funding for his first man to swim round the moon project, he's gonna just go round the world again on his own steam.

or just read this:
One of the most remarkable voyages of exploration ever undertaken — a four-year trans-navigation of the globe by sea and by land — is launched by South African adventurer-explorer Mike Horn, in the presence of HSH Prince Albert of Monaco.
Among the guests present at the launch in Monaco to support this groundbreaking environmental initiative was Mrs Gaynor Rupert, wife of Mr Johann Rupert, Executive Chairman of Richemont SA , who has agreed to be the ‘Godmother’ of Pangaea.
The expedition, named ‘Pangaea’ after the supercontinent that existed 250-million years ago (and an acronym for his Pan Global Adventure for Environmental Action), will cover 100 000 kilometres, reaching the North and South Poles and crossing all the continents and the oceans. His mission is to unite the continents again through the Young Explorers Program, with a powerful environmental message, to share his knowledge and to initiate environmental solutions for future generations.
The baptism in Monaco begins a four-month road show that will take Pangaea from Monaco to Barcelona, Hamburg, Iceland and London, ending in Lorient.
The Pangaea Expedition begins on 9 October when Mike Horn sets sail from Punta Arenas in Chile on the first stage of his epic journey to Antarctica, where Horn will trek to the South Pole. Then his route will take him through Australasia, China, Russia, to the North Pole, then across Greenland, North and South America and back to Punta Arenas.
