Cristian Donoso

For 80 days starting this month, Chilean kayakers and explorers Cristian Donoso and Mario Sepúlveda will attempt to complete a journey of 994 miles (1600 km), following a maritime and terrestrial route from the coast to the highest summits of the Antarctic Andes.

“The main goal of this expedition will be to alert the public about the effects of global warming on the Antarctic coast,” Donoso said. “In order to achieve our goal we will make a photographic and audiovisual register of landscapes and wildlife of this Antarctic region from the non-disturbing perspective of a kayak expedition.”
