In the summer of 2015, Pavel Cenkl didn’t go the extra mile for climate resilience: he went 150 extra miles. Cenkl completed a solo run across Iceland from the Atlantic to the Arctic Ocean, covering 240 kilometers and more than 6,000 meters of elevation gain for his project “Climate Run.”

He will be presenting images and stories from “Climate Run: Iceland” on Tuesday, October 11, at Sterling College at 7:00 p.m. The talk will be held in Simpson Hall, Classroom 3. This talk is free and open to the public.

Cenkl, the Associate Dean of Academics at Sterling College, will talk about Iceland’s unique landscape, its connection to climate change, and the lessons we all can learn from endurance sports about ourselves and the world we live in. “Climate Run” is an ongoing project that hopes to build a resilient community in the face of global climate change.
