Eric Larsen is a polar explorer, speaker, and expedition guide. He has spent the past 15 years of his life traveling to some of the most remote and wild places left on earth. In 2006, Eric completed the first-ever summer expedition to the North Pole. Eric is now one of only a few Americans to have skied to both the North and South Poles. Eric is passionate about spreading the message about the beauty & importance of the poles and other Arctic places - places that few people will ever get to see. 

Eric and I discussed: 

• What's more difficult, Everest or the North Pole?
• Polar Bears
• How he mentally handles the cold
• The beauty of the ice
• Breaking a mission into smaller mini-missions
• The difficulties of putting an expedition together 
• His positive mindset
• His surprise stalker 

And much, much more...

My Take: It is important that someone like Eric explores these places and tells their stories. These mostly uninhabited (and freezing) places across our planet are some of the most beautiful - and in need of the most preservation.
