Jason Lewis completes the first human-powered circumnavigation of the Earth.
Jason Lewis completes the first-ever human-powered journey around the globe, demonstrating the limits of human endurance and creativity.
Jason Lewis embarked on his human-powered circumnavigation in 1994, departing from Greenwich, London, on a bicycle. Over 13 years, he crossed North and South America, the Pacific and Atlantic Oceans by kayak and pedal-powered boat, and traversed Europe, Africa, and Asia by bicycle and rollerblades. He covered more than 74,000 kilometers without using fossil fuels, relying solely on human energy. His journey included 80 countries and multiple unsupported desert crossings. In October 2007, he returned to London to complete the voyage. This feat set a new record and demonstrated the limits of human endurance and creativity. Lewis’s expedition was recognized globally and inspired discussions on sustainable travel. His achievement remains a landmark in adventure and exploration.
