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.
