Greetings!     
Polar explorer to speak in Granite Falls this Sunday
"Will Steger has always been someone who can make impossible things happen."
 
"He is our best-known polar explorer, and among our best-known explorers," says Rebecca Martin, director of National Geographic's Expeditions Council. "He's a walking legend."
 
Gov. Mark Dayton, a close friend of Steger's since before either man was famous, puts it even more bluntly: "He's the LeBron James of world exploration." 
 
Read more about Will Steger in this featured article by Olivia LaVecchia, City Pages, "Will Steger's castle in the clouds."
