The Mission

A Journey Never Before Accomplished

While Swedish explorer Adolf Erik Nordenskiöld became the first to circumnavigate Eurasia by ship in 1878-79, no one has ever completed this extraordinary journey by road since the invention of the automobile.

Starting and ending in Rome, Italy, this expedition will trace the entire perimeter of the world's largest landmass—a continuous 40,000-kilometer odyssey through approximately 50 nations, countless cultures, and some of Earth's most remote landscapes.
