Nobel Prize for Adventure Canada!

Claes Nobel is a member of Sweden's Nobel family and nephew of Alfred Nobel, who established the Nobel Prizes over
100 years ago.  

Claes is also the founder of the National Society of High School Scholars, and is a tireless advocate for addressing environmental issues, especially as they pertain to young people.

"Sadly the current generations have left the world a looted and polluted place", says Nobel.  "Our best
hope is to invest our energies in young people to change that going forward."

In November of 2009 the two Swan brothers - Matthew and Bill - were attending, along with Bill Lishman, an environmental conference in Cascais, Portugal where all were featured speakers. Seeing they were all of like mind, the invitation was extended to Mr. Nobel to join us and happily - he readily accepted!

The Society is a private membership organization with more than 500,000 members in 180 countries. NSHSS'
vision is to connect its members with meaningful content, people, resources and opportunities to help build on academic success while enhancing each student's skills and desire to have a positive impact on the global community.

Claes Nobel's personal project is to initiate the writing of a set of Earth Ethics, utilizing the brightest minds from around the planet, to author an environmental manifesto that will serve as a good conduct guide for the future.

With the help of the National Society of High School Scholars, our Into the Northwest Passage Expedition -
Aug 14 - 28, 2010 will host a student member of the Society onboard this special Voyage into arctic waters.
