A four-man team from Lloyd's Register set sail on 1 March from Ushuaia, Argentina, as part of an international expedition to the Antarctic lead by the renowned polar explorer and environmentalist Robert Swan, OBE.
The team of technical experts and eco-entrepreneurs will form part of the International Antarctic Expedition 2012, led by Swan, who has dedicated his life to the preservation of the Antarctic by promoting recycling, renewable energy and sustainability to combat the effects of climate change.
Swan's organisation, 2041 (www.2041.com), so named for the year that the Protocol on Environmental Protection to the Antarctic Treaty will expire, is dedicated to the protection of what he calls "the world’s last great wilderness."
