Interview with Peter Hillary in Antarctica

Video by Dave Katz // 63°32′S 56°54′W // A highlight of my career as a storyteller, interviewing explorer Peter Hillary on a glacier on the Tabrin Peninsula in Antarctica back in December. Peter is the of son of Sir Edmund Hillary who in 1953 along with his climbing partner Tenzing Norgay completed the first assent of Mt Everest. During the interview we covered many topics, but here’s a few highlights. Check out more of Peter’s amazing life at www.peterhillary.com and his important work with the @ www.himalayantrust.org

A wonder as to how freezer coils, freezer technology (from a refrigerator or ice box) could potentially reduce the amount of ice, glaciers from melting. The ice already melted removed, restored, filtered for use elsewhere. Any and all solutions as to reduce land damage, animal and humans habitat from being damaged on both sides of colder climates and warmer climates. Sure seems with all the years of human innovation, intelligence, the use of modern innovation might be able to have an impact that is beneficial to both the wilderness and the people. Who else might think of combining a refrigerator freezer with the artic ice glaciers unknown, the sense there might be others but to sit around thinking of nothing, doing nothing as the ice melts, the temperature changes doesn't seem the thing to do. Maybe it is possible to create cold around, closest to the glaciers? Or warmer weather with outside heat systems in places where it drops below freezing temperatures? Caution of course should be a component, only experts consulted on such matters. Interesting curiosity, even so, as to how much human beings can do, to improve the Earth, tend to it, take care of it. The scientist to explore, God help the scientists, the artic animals are depending on it, if all the ice melts, they might die off. 🐧🦭🐋🐟
