DAVID THORESON, SAILOR, EXPLORER, PHOTOGRAPHER 
Over The Horizon is a 2016 pictorial memoir by David Thoreson. The sailor from Lake Okoboji, Iowa, had already traveled extensively when he began sailing the high seas with a “salty” farmer from southern Minnesota. Together they began exploring the far reaches of the globe. On their second attempt at crossing the Arctic’s Northwest Passage, Thoreson realized they were witnessing a rapidly changing Arctic and ocean environment. 
 With his many extreme expeditions and Midwestern roots, photographer, sailor and explorer David Thoreson has a unique life story. His path has been anything but traditional. Thoreson grew up in a small town in Iowa, learned to sail and love the water as a boy on a glacial lake created by a changing climate. He shares how these experiences lead to a life of exploration and discovery at the far reaches of the globe. David's book and presentation combine stunning visuals and story-telling about sailing in the ice, lives of native hunters, scientists in the Arctic and ultimately discovering and meeting the issue of climate change face-to-face. Thoreson believes the climate issue to be a game-changer and a powerful uniting force crossing previously unexplored boundaries. 
David Thoreson is an Explorers Club Fellow and the first American explorer in history to sail the Northwest Passage in both directions. Thoreson has sailed more than 65,000 nautical miles, including be­low the Antarctic Circle, three times across the Atlantic, six times over the Arctic Circle, twice around Cape Horn and, in 2009-10, a 28,000-mile circumnavigation of North and South America. His documentary of that voyage was nominated for an Emmy and published in the beautiful photo book, One Island, One Ocean.
