Description

Erling Kagge is a Norwegian explorer and the first man to reach the ‘three poles’ – North, South and the summit of Mount Everest. He is also the bestselling author of many books on topics from silence to the secret tunnels under New York. In an age defined by pioneers like Elon Musk, could adventurers inherit the earth? Kagge joins UnHerd to discuss the philosophy of polar exploration.
