  • One of the world s most famous explorers, Mike Horn, has chosen Greenland as the first stop on his latest expedition. Christened What s Left , for the expedition Mike has taken the sailing explorer yacht Pangaea. Refitted by Sunreef: it is a 4x4 of the oceans, capable of reaching the most remote corners of the globe. The aim of the expedition, which will last four years, is to raise awareness of environmental issues, with a particular focus on climate change. Greenland is one of the Earth s last great wildernesses and an isolated and often neglected part of the world: the ideal starting point before continuing on to Amazonia, Patagonia and Antarctica, heading for northern Siberia and Alaska.
