Kevin Vallely sees the world in ways most of us only dream of. One of the world’s leading explorers, he set a speed record skiing to the south pole in 2009, trekked across the sea of Siberia in 2010, and completed the grueling Fiji Eco Challenge in 2002. I could continue listing his accomplishments for several pages, but will point instead to his next expedition, the i2P Andes Run from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean, set for February 2012. The G4S Q+A that follows reveals a man with a sharp mind and a tough pair of feet.
