About Project Zero
Award-winning explorer Dr Geoff Wilson AM is set to embark on his next global odyssey – Project Zero. Teaming up with his 22-year-old son Kitale, they will venture to the furthest corners of the globe to explore a shifting climate and develop a way forward for low-impact expeditions.
His team’s sustainable approach will test their theory that net-zero adventure is possible and vital. From sailing to kite-skiing to glacier travel, their quest for carbon neutral exploration will take them to some of the world's most isolated and vulnerable environments, from the South Pole to the North Pole.
