THE NEXT ADVENTUREA Volcanic Treasure has been Discovered

14

A G E N D A

Consider yourself amongst the first to know that a fortuitous glance outside our chopper window in August has lead to a miraculous discovery: a lava lake completely new to human knowledge

No one has ever, stepped foot near it, much less descended into it’s crater.  Lava lakes are among the planet’s most scarce physical features with only 5 currently recorded. This groundbreaking discovery represents the 6th and arguably the rarest in the world

With a team of renowned volcanic pioneers, scientists, journalists, and filmmakers, we will become the first humans ever to record, explore, and document the world’s newest and still unnamed Lava Lake in December of this year

World-Class ExpeditionThis expedition not only has the extreme aesthetic appeal of the last, but is positioned to become a world’s first on the leading edge of exploration

Guaranteed DistributionThis opportunity will capitalize on the dozens of newly formed relationships that have recently been cultivated between journalists and opinion-makers. And has guaranteed placement in—and distribution through—Wired and New York Times

Philanthropic GlowUnder new norms of corporate social responsibility, doing good and doing well are inextricably linked. Funding research that contributes to the larger benefits of society, exploration, and scientific understanding, has been proven to have positive impact on public perception and an overall increase of brand value.
