  • April 2010 – Volume Seventeen, Number Four EXPEDITION NEWS
    April 2010 – Volume Seventeen, Number Four EXPEDITION NEWS, now in its 16th year, is the monthly review of significant expeditions, research projects and newsworthy adventures. It is distributed online to media representatives, corporate sponsors, educators, research librarians, explorers, environmentalists, and outdoor enthusiasts. This forum on exploration covers projects that stimulate, motivate and educate. COLD SHORES EXPEDITION ATTEMPTS 300-MILE TREK ACROSS NORWEGIAN ARCTIC David Leaning, 30, a former British Commando who served in Helmand Province, Afghanistan, late last month announced that the Cold Shores Expedition team has departed for the Norwegian Arctic to attempt to trek 300 miles across Svalbard Island (which means ‘cold edge’ in old Norse). Svalbard is where polar explorer Roald Amundsen mysteriously disappeared in 1928. The objective of the Cold Shores Expedition is to raise funds for The HALO Trust landmines charity (www.halotrust.org). Leaning is accompanied by Anton Havas, 21, a marathon runner from Sweden, and Apostolos Alafogiannis, 31, a former Special Forces operative from Greece. Leaning completed a tour of duty in Afghanistan in 2007 and witnessed the terrible effects of landmines. Wishing to do something, he has completed two fundraising expeditions to support landmine charities. In 2008 he skied 1,615 miles down the entire length of Norway and in 2009 walked 1,429 miles from coast to coast across central Australia. The team has been training in northern Norway with the Royal Marine Commando’s Mountain Leaders Section. Expected hazards include polar bears (it is illegal not to carry a weapon to defend against polar bear attack), glaciers, ice storms and crevasses coupled with the perils of a restricted diet and sleep deprivation.
