Renewable energy plan
The focus will be to open the first environmental school in Antarctica, but the youngsters will also take part in research and learn how to live on sustainable energy.
Explorer and environmentalist Robert Swan, who will lead the trip, says if renewable energy can succeed in the harshest environment on earth, there’s no reason it can’t be used everywhere.
“What these young people will experience is not what is impossible in life but what is possible,” he said.
“I believe our world will survive. It is a technical challenge.
“My response to the technical challenge is that we will be making this expedition using only renewable energy.”
