Today, Christian Swedish explorer Bodegren completed an epic paddle expedition through South America to reach the beach, not far from Buenos Aires, Argentina. Over the past nine months or so, has Beeb navigate your way south along many rivers, often paddling upstream in an effort to explore the rich biodiversity that inhabits the continent.
The Bodegren journey began last September when rowed up the Orinoco in Venezuela, which eventually led to a series of other interconnected water courses including the Guainia River, Black River, Amazonas, Madeira, and more. Finally he reached the Rio de la Plata, which led all the way to the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Argentina, where he sent his triumphant telegram proclaim an end to the issue this morning.
This final submission is good to read as he shares his joy not only to do, but the sadness of leaving behind the jungles and rivers rowed in the last month. He will return home to Sweden shortly, and once again enjoy the comforts of modern life. But clearly this adventure and will miss only a matter of time before it fixed again.
Small Christian Children's excursion was definitely a challenge, both in terms of logistics and things found while in the water. Crocodiles, piranhas, biting insects and many other creatures were constant dangers along the way and the dense jungles of South America are not easy places to visit for months. Besides that, he spent weeks paddling upriver and often do not have the luxury of current work in your favor. It must have been very difficult at times when progress is slow and it was physically drained.
