Explorer moved with his team up to just hours ago, inching closer to the summit of Everest. Larsen and crew are the last team on the mountain, according to a recent report from E.
The quest is the last installment of Larsen's Save the Poles expedition. Starting last November, he set off to visit the South Pole, the North Pole, and the peak of Everest within 365 days. By documenting change in the world's last great frozen places, he hopes to raise awareness of climate change.
You can follow the climbing expedition on , where he updates readers with blogs, videos, facebook updates, podcasts, and a map of his route. A pretty impressive list of media to put out while climbing the world's highest peak.
