He has been heading for Australia with only birds, fish, and sharks ever since. Crossing the Pacific is only part of his journey. Eruc has decided to go all the way around the world using his own energy. He will row, bike, walk, and climb the world without help from any motors (发动机) at all. His plan includes climbing the tallest peak on six of the continents (洲) along the way.
