The Summits Of Canada - Mount Logan Expedition & Windows Live

  • Article

CanTREK is an expedition team that will be climbing Mount Logan, Canada’s highest peak.  The climb takes place in May and will involve 12 climbers.  Throughout the trek, they will be focused on geological study, education, fitness, health and the environment.  They will be linked to the students in their classrooms and homes and thru the site.  This means that we will have a link with over 1.4M Canadian youth via the VE mashup and live via satellite to the classroom!

Check out the video and the site.
