South African adventurer Mike Horn, presenter of The Island, In the Wild and Cape Horn on M6, almost died of hunger and exhaustion during his Arctic expedition with the Norwegian Borge Ousland. Following his rescue, the adventurer explains that his expedition was made more dangerous than usual due to the unusually thin layer of ice due to climate change. "We saw a more marked change in the thickness of the ice, the breaches," he told our colleagues at France Info on Tuesday.
“My playing field is changing. It changes so quickly! We haven't seen a single polar bear in three months, ”warned the explorer. The adventurer also decided to ease off: "I'm coming to an age where I have to change, maybe not my way of life but the intensity, do it in a more controlled way", he said. .
