SOLE Adventurer Jon Bowermaster continues his quest to raise awareness about the 7 continents

"Over the past 20 years I've written about adventure, the environment and the remote corners of the world for a variety of national and international magazines, ranging from National Geographic and National Geographic Adventure to the New York Times, Atlantic Monthly and more. A six-time grantee of the National Geographic Expeditions Council, those adventures have led my teams and me to each continent.

My various adventures have included riding a cargo boat through the South Pacific, two-man sledding to the heart of Antarctica, sea kayaking along its coastline and first descents of rivers in Chile and China. Along the way I've written ten books and produced a dozen documentary films.

In the past decade I've done fewer trips that could be defined as adventure-for-adventure's sake and focused on bringing back stories about the health of the world's seas and the lives of the 3 billion people who live and depend on the world's coastlines. My OCEANS 8 project - ten years spent sea kayaking around the world, one continent at a time - has given me a unique look, from sea level, at both.

When not on the road, or sea, I live in Stone Ridge, New York."
