Officine Panerai, the luxury, Italian watch-maker has been a long-time supporter of Mike’s expeditions. Mr Angelo Bonati, CEO of Panerai, says “Officine Panerai honours men of value and stands behind Mike’s values of tradition, innovation and respect for the environment.”
Mike Horn’s past exploration achievements include: - Amazon Expedition: in 1997, Mike undertook a solo, un-motorized traverse of the South American continent. - Latitude Zero: in 1999 he circumnavigated the world around the equator without motor transport, an expedition which took him a total of 18 months. - Arktos: in October 2004 he achieved yet another staggering feat of human endurance when he completed a two-year, three-month solo circumnavigation of the Arctic Circle. In doing this he became the first man to travel the Arctic Circle without motorized transport, completing an unimaginable 20,000km journey. - North Pole: in 2006 Mike Horn and Norwegian explorer, Borge Ousland, became the first men to travel without dog or motorized transport to the North Pole during the permanent darkness of the Arctic months.
