Two Indian explorers will set out on a 35,000-km overland journey later this month in public transport from the shore of Arctic Ocean to the Antarctic to spread awareness on climate change across the world. The expedition named 'Pangea One World' will be undertaken by Akhil Bakshi along with his doctor friend Rajendra Jain and they will pass through countries such as the US, Mexico, Guatemala, Antigua, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Panama, Ecuador and Argentina.
