Contention among human-powered circumnavigators
I follow several human powered around-the-world expeditions, and have often wondered if there is some contention among them. Today, Jason of Expedition 360 addressed the issue directly (from the middle of the Arabian sea no less). He identifies his competition, and asks for support for the “antipodal” definition of circumnavigation to be recognized by National Geographic. I have great respect for all these explorers, but I must admit that hitting a pair of opposite points on the planet has a certain aesthetic appeal.
