Mike Mezeul II, a 26 year-old photojournalism graduate student and collegiate roller hockey alumni from The University of North Texas looks to stand a top the world. He’s looking to create a visual story on what it takes one human being to reach 90°N. He also hopes to document current polar issues regarding global warming, but he cannot get there without your vote.
Quark Expeditions is giving away a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, an expedition to the North Pole aboard “50 Years of Victory,” the largest nuclear-powered icebreaker in existence. Competitors have until February 15, 2011, to gain as many votes as possible and remain in the top five. After the top five contestants are finalized, a panel of judges will choose who they feel is best qualified for the trip.
Mezeul has a passion for adventure. He spends his springtime chasing tornadoes, his summer, documenting hurricanes, and his winter, photographing winter blizzards. His work is one-of-a-kind. By visiting the North Pole, a land that is unclaimed by any country and has no economical value, he hopes to represent The University of North Texas and share the experience with all of you. Through Twitter, Facebook, and his Quark blog, you will feel as if you were right there with him, except much, much warmer. Mike is currently 3rd place in the World in votes with 26 days left and needs your help to move into 1st.
