Introduction

​Fifty-five year-old Zhai Mo is one of the most renowned Chinese navigators, who made the world’s first non-stop circumnavigation of the Arctic Ocean with a sailboat between 2021 and 2022. His epic voyage was made possible due to the melting of icebergs in the high Arctic as a result of global warming. Seeing the effects of climate change with his own eyes, the Chinese seafarer has taken as his mission the challenge of reminding people living across the globe to preserve the environment and the planet through concerted efforts.
