Polar Vision Introduction for China

Polar Vision December 2011: Seeing Beyond Limits Polar Vision Seeing Beyond Limits

Polar Vision is a truly extraordinary and
inspiring expedition, following in the tradition of great
polar explorers such as Scott, Amundsen, and Shackleton
Crossing Antarctica from the coast to the South Pole is considered one of the
hardest expeditions, comparable to climbing Mount Everest or sailing solo around the world
Alan Lock will be the first visually impaired person to complete this challenge
Overview

The Challenge
Setting off on the two-month expedition in the Antarctic Spring, the team will start from the coast and will trek approximately 600 miles across the frozen Antarctica continent to the South Pole. The team will be pulling their food and equipment on polar sleds weighing up to 100 lbs.

The Goal
To set a record for the first visually impaired person to trek from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole
Polar Vision will aim to raise invaluable awareness, publicity and funds for sight charities:

Alan Lock
Alan Lock is a former Royal Navy Officer currently living in Berkeley,
California. In late 2003 Alan suffered the loss of much of his vision from a
rare genetic eye disease.
Despite this blow, Alan was determined to maintain his passion for sports
and challenges, and in doing so hoped to support those who were in a
similar, and often far worse situation. Since his sight loss Alan has worked on
a number of major fundraising and awareness initiatives, most recent of
which was a Guinness World Record - rowing the Atlantic Ocean which
raised over $80,000.
Alan currently is currently completing his MBA at UC Berkeley.
