• Lectures & Discussions

In November 2025, Lilith van Amerongen sets off on a solo expedition to the South Pole. With the aim of becoming one of the youngest people in history to undertake such a journey. 50 days, 1130 km and with 90 kg in her sledge through the icy desert in her little red tent. Why are they taking on this incredible challenge? To be a voice that shines a light on the pressing issue of the climate crisis and highlights the need for us to act.

Along the way, Lilith van Amerongen collects snow samples on the Antarctic plateau. These will be analyzed by Heike Wex at the Leibniz Institute for Tropospheric Research (TROPOS) in Germany and provide relevant data about our climate.

So it's going to the end of the world, both metaphorically and literally, a powerful statement about the global impact of climate change.

Lilith is a climate activist, Nordic nature guide and adventurer with an unstoppable determination to protect our fragile environment.
