On Friday, January 28,
nine-year-old
Phạm Vũ Thiều Quang
from Âu Lạc (Vietnam)
and his father embarked
on their journey
to explore Antarctica.
The father and son
flew to Argentina, and
from there will go to
the southernmost city
of Ushuia to board the
British ship MS Fram
along with other
international explorers
to sail to the South Pole.
In preparation
for his adventure,
Thiều Quang did various
physical exercises
advised by experts,
as well as practicing
his photography skills.
The young explorer, who
is the youngest Asian
to set foot on the frozen
southern continent, seeks
to raise public awareness
about climate change and
environmental protection.
Bravo on your
noble adventure,
Thiều Quang!
Wishing you fruitful
success in bringing back
information to share
so that many people are
further awakened to
the need for more
sustainable lifestyles
to better care for our
cherished planetary home.
