Expedition Mountaineering

The Icelandic Wild Heart Expedition

Press Release-Expedition Outreach, a charitable organization founded in 1995, will be traveling to Iceland to set the Guinness Book world record for the fastest alpine face-first luge. Team Leader Coyne, who holds the "official" world record for the highest altitude luge run in Bolivia, will now attempt to be the fastest person on Earth using an alpine skeleton-style sled.

The team is a group of environmentally conscious explorers and athletes who educate people about the world peace process and other worthwhile causes by taking the publicity they receive from their extreme sporting and mountaineering adventures, expeditions, races and events and focusing it on education and awareness.

From broadcasting live from the summit of a previously unclimbed peak in Alaska across the nation on ABC television to being the first to wakeboard the Amazon River and mountain bike across Bolivia’s Altiplano, the highest-altitude desert in the world, Team EO captures the attention and imagination of our audience.

A few years ago, team leader Michael Coyne experienced a life-threatening decline in heart health in the transition zone of a triathlon and had to retire from his career as a Massachusetts state trooper. “As a lifelong athlete I was devastated.” Coyne stated that he is now training full-time for Iceland, determined to come back stronger than ever — inspiring all those who have experienced adversity in their lives.

Iceland is only the first of a series of expeditions that will take Team EO across the globe from Thailand/Bhutan to New Zealand to Costa Rica and Africa. The team will be filming for a documentary project about facing our fears and understanding the nature of our planet and our own hearts.
