ERLING KAGGE is a world-leading Norwegian explorer, philosopher, and author, the first in history to reach the North Pole, South Pole, and the summit of Mt. Everest on foot. His latest book, After the North Pole, is an epic adventure story of humanity’s obsession with the North Pole. Blending memories from Kagge’s expeditions, thebook reckons with the pursuit of dreams and the challenging bonds between fathers and sons, while dramatically documenting the psychological toll of what it means to keep putting one foot in front of the other in the face of adversity. This is a story for anyone who’s gazed out at the horizon and wondered what happens if you just keep walking. Kagge will talk with WILLY WALKER, All-American endurance athlete and host of the Walker Webcast, about his extraordinary journey across the North Pole and reflect on the beauty and fragility of our planet.
