Pole2Pole

Mike Horn is an explorer who was born in South Africa and lives in Switzerland.

He became famous in 2001 after completing a one year and a half solo trip around the equator without using any motorised vehicle. 

In 2004, he completed again only by himself a wandering in the Arctic Circle, which lasted 2 years and 3 months. 

In 2006 with the Norwegian explorer Børge Ousland were the first men that traveled without any dog or motorised vehicle to the North Pole during wintertime in constant darkness.

In 2016, Horn launched his latest Pole2Pole campaign, a two-year wandering through the South and the North Pole. On May 8, 2016, Horn left his departure point, The Yacht Club of Monaco. Horn traveled from Africa to Antarctica, Oceania, Asia, the Arctic and back to Europe. The Pole2Pole campaign promotes three key themes: adventure, environment and sharing. His exploration was successfully completed on 9 January 2017.

In June 2019, a new campaign was launched to reach the K2 peak, located in the Korakorum Mountains between China and Pakistan.
