Description

28-year-old Barney Swan has accompanied his father, Robert, on multiple expeditions, including a 600-mile walk to the South Pole that his father was unable to finish in 2017. While the son will join his father on the "Undaunted: South Pole 2023" expedition, scheduled to conclude in January 2023, Barney is cutting his own distinctive path to sustainability and pulling the world along with him. From growing up as a London boy transplanted into rural Australia, to his current effort to regenerate a section of the world's oldest rainforest, Barney has a unique perspective and plenty to say.

With the "Undaunted: South Pole 2023" expedition, Robert seeks to complete his long-time goal of crossing the Antarctic landmass on foot while advocating for sustainability and protecting the frozen continent. This podcast explores the experience of Antarctica ("It wants to kill you," Robert says) and considers practical and positive approaches on the journey toward sustainability. Along the way, you'll meet adventurers and experts -- and expert adventurers. NTT DATA is an expedition sponsor.
