About the Author

David Mayer de Rothschild is a British adventurer and environmentalist, and head of Adventure Ecology, an expedition group raising awareness about climate change. In 2006, de Rothschild spent over 100 days crossing the Arctic from Russia to Canada, which saw him become one of only 42 people, and the youngest British person, to ever reach both geographical poles. He had already become one of only 14 people ever to traverse the continent of Antarctica, and was part of a team that broke the world record for the fastest ever crossing of the Greenland ice cap.
