Hallo, eco-minded viewers,welcome to Planet Earth: Our Loving Home.
Today on part two of our program we once again talk with Dr. Rebecca
Lee, the founder of the Polar Museum Foundation.
The
Foundation has the goal of conserving our environment by highlighting
the importance of polar scientific exploration to the general public.
Dr. Lee is renowned as the first woman to have explored the “Four
Poles” of our planet – the North Pole, the South Pole Mount Everest and
the Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon in Eastern Tibet
which features the deepest canyon in the world.
In
1970, carrying her backpack, sleeping bag and camera, Dr. Lee started
her dream journey of traveling every corner of the globe. After nearly
40 years of exploration, she has seen the world’s five oceans and
touched the seven continents.
Dr. Lee joined the Chinese
Antarctic Research Expedition team in 1985 to conduct polar research.
Since then, she has traveled six times to the Antarctic, 10 times to
Arctic, four times to Mount Everest, twice to Taklamakan, a large
Central Asian desert, and once to Yarlung Tsangpo Canyon. Based on her
wealth of experience and knowledge, Dr. Lee has written “The Poles
Declaration” about her explorations of the poles and “Polar Power”
regarding the energy of the poles and their influence on global
climatic conditions.
Our Supreme Master Television correspondent

their our conversations with Dr. Lee, she shared her experiences of
conducting research at the poles as well as her insights to spreading
the message on the dangers of global warming.
