The Will Steger Foundation, created to educate about climate change, has created the Global Warming 101 initiative (and a ultra-interactive website of the same name), which documents trips through arctic regions to highlight the changing landscape that comes with climate change. Right now at the initiative’s website you can see video and listen to audio of the current expedition, which consists of

six emerging leaders, ages 21-28…join[ing] Will Steger on a 1,400 mile international dogsled expedition across Ellesmere Island . There they will follow in the footsteps of legendary polar explorers and will visit ice shelves that have collapsed due to global warming and those that are on the brink of collapse.

Let’s hope they bring back some penguins next time they go to the Antarctic. Cause I read a book once where this guy had penguins, and they could do tricks, and it seemed pretty awesome.

To see a video of Will Steger, and learn about his vision, there’s a video clip after the jump.

and visit the initiative’s website to learn about the current trek, and then to learn about the foundation as a whole, and what else the good people there are doing to raise awareness of global warming.
