Adventurers of the Year

EVERY YEAR, READERS OF NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC MAGAZINE VOTE FOR THEIR ADVENTURERS OF THE YEAR.
HERE ARE TWO OF THEM.

THE MOUNTAINEER
As a child, Edurne Pasaban lived in the mountainous Basque region of Spain and she climbed her first mountain
when she was fourteen. At university, she studied engineering but she didn’t want a nine-to-five job. In May 2010
she finished her biggest challenge, to climb the world’s fourteen tallest mountains. Nowadays she is famous for
her many climbing achievements, However, she didn’t climb in order to become famous. She says, “For me,
adventure is a way of life.”

THE ROAD TRIPPERS

Steven Shoppman and Stephen Bouey were old friends who grew up together in Denver. But they knew each
other a lot better after their adventure. They both had an ambition to go on a road trip round the world. From
2007 to 2010, they drove through 69 different countries during their 122,000-kilometre journey and had many
adventures. They took a big risk and felt anxious when they went across a minefield (see photo). They also got
help from lots of people and they found that the world wasn’t as dangerous as they thought!

MOUNTAINEER: Someone who climbs mountains for sport.

ROAD TRIPPERS: Someone who has a long journey by road
