But now it seems an endlessstream of people are conquering the South Pole or clambering up Everest. MarkMacKenzie asks him, is the exploring game becoming too easy?AIn the field of human exploration, Sir RanulphFiennes’s personal achievements are remarkableand his numerous expeditions to the North andSouth Poles have turned him into an iconicfigure, the explorer’s explorer. Now thereare many amateurs that would follow in hisfootsteps and adventure travel is one of thefastest growing sectors of the travel market.This year, record numbers are expected at thebase camp of Everest, in the hope of reachingthe summit of the world’s tallest peak. So, isthe exploring game getting too easy? ‘Anyonewho plans carefully could get to the South Poleif they’re in relatively good condition and go atthe right time of year,’ says Fiennes. ‘I wouldsay the same of Mount Everest. If the weather’sgood and you take a reasonable guide, youshould be able to get up even if you’ve neverclimbed before. However, there are still plentyof expeditions the majority of the public wouldnot be able to do. Crossing the whole continentof Antarctica unsupported, for example, yourtroubles only really start at the South Pole. Butthe urge to go to far-flung regions is innate toman,’ Fiennes continues, ‘and I think providedthere is no ecological damage, this is fine. OnEverest, though, there has been a dramaticimpact in terms of litter.’BBut with specialist companies willing to depositincreasing numbers of tourists in ever moreremote locations, is exploring still a true testof character? ‘The challenge is what you makeof it,’ says Fiennes. ‘In the wrong weather,you can have the most horrendous time onreasonably easy routes.’ Also lying behind theincreasing numbers of extreme adventurers,says Fiennes, is the improved technology usedfor polar equipment. ‘It’s all a lot lighter now,less bulky. If you’re inexperienced, that makesthese journeys a lot more appealing.’ PatrickWoodhead, whose young team reached theSouth Pole in 75 days, thinks the explorercommunity has a tendency to be overlyreverential towards their discipline and claimshis South Pole trek was a thoroughly enjoyableexperience. However, in Fiennes’ biographyof the original Antarctic explorer, CaptainRobert Falcon Scott, he implies strongly thatthere are those among modern explorers whoremain ignorant of the debt they owe to Scott’spioneering spirit. ‘People today think we knewback then that Antarctica was a continent – wedidn’t. On his first expedition to Antarctica in1902, Scott made an 800-mile journey whenthe furthest expedition previously had been 14miles.’CWhat is it that has driven explorers to theextremes of the Earth? ‘Explorers havealways had a thousand different motives,’Fiennes acknowledges. ‘If I’m asked myself, Iam quite clear. It’s my profession and how Imake an income. There are people who aren’tcomfortable with that. I’m supposed to say“Because it’s there to be conquered.” I thinksome people still need this image of nobility.’Such frankness has contributed to Fiennes’sreputation for occasional haughtiness. On anexpedition in 1971, he made the mistake oftaking along a television crew. ‘It meant goodpublicity for future expeditions,’ he says, ‘butthey deliberately set out with the aim of showingme up as a dictator.’DNevertheless, Fiennes has built his reputationon the only sort of accomplishment thatmatters among his peers – being first. ‘WhenSir Edmund Hillary first scaled Everest, heused every aid at his disposal. The next “first”then has to be the person to do it withoutoxygen, then the first solo ascent and so on.’So are there any true ‘firsts’ left? ‘In part,it’s the attitude of the individual,’ he says. ‘Ifsomething has been done, they will find theirown firsts. Eventually, expeditions end uprelying on gimmicks; for example, going to theSouth Pole on a motorbike, or on a camel andso on.’ In 1992, Fiennes completed his firstarchaeological expedition to find the lost cityof Ubar in the deserts of Oman. He admits hefound the detective work intriguing, albeit achallenge for a relative amateur, and believesthe possibility of making similar discoveries mayincreasingly occupy his time in the future. Whilemost men his age are thinking about retirement,his appetite for adventure appears undiminished.5 [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
