The teenage polar explorer

You may not have heard of Parker Liautaud, but back in 2013 he was big news. Having announced that, at the age of 19, he was planning to break the record for skiing across Antarctica, the world’s media were keen to get to meet the ambitious adventurer. What follows is just one of the many news stories written at the time.

Have you any idea where you’ll be waking up on Christmas morning? Well, if everything goes to plan, teenager Parker Liautaud will be spending the day at the South Pole. For now, though, the 19-year-old Californian is in London, completing his preparations and seeking publicity for his adventure. I set out to meet him in the tent he had pitched in a glass box full of snow not far from London’s famous Tower Bridge. Inside the climate-controlled box, the temperature was well below freezing, and passing Londoners were all keen to climb inside to get a selfie with Parker. I was happier to chat out in the milder air of a September afternoon in the capital. Parker turned out to be not just a well-connected adventurer from a wealthy background, but a young man determined to raise the issue of climate change to a broader audience. While crossing the Antarctic ice from the coast to the pole, Parker and his co-explorer Doug Stoop will be carrying out vital scientific experiments to investigate the impact of global warming.

Despite his youthful appearance, Parker is an experienced polar explorer. He grew up with an interest in the icy wastes and, even in his early teens, had a passion for protecting these last great wildernesses. That’s why he took advantage of the fact that his family was rich to finance trips to the Arctic and Antarctic. He wanted to see what was happening for himself, and to publicise the problems for the world to see. He went on his first polar expedition at the age of 14 and attempted, unsuccessfully, to walk across the Arctic to the North Pole at 15. By the age of 18, he had reached the North Pole on three occasions. As we finished our conversa-tion, and he made his way back to the glass box, I wished him all the best. With luck, by the end of the year, he will have achieved his latest dream.

So, in the end, what happened to Parker’s exhibition to the South Pole? Well, following a 560-kilometre trek on skis from the edge of Antarctica, the young man and his co-explorer Stoop reached their goal. It was the fastest human-powered trek from the coast to the South Pole, and Parker became the youngest man to ski to the Pole.
