Two people from Sky News have joined polar explorer, Robert Swan on his 10th International Antarctic Expedition - one which he hopes will help turn the tide of public apathy towards climate change.

Mr Swan is leading a group of 80 young people from 28 countries across the world to the Antarctic Peninsula. His mission is to impress upon them the importance of maintaining the current international legal frameworks that protect the frozen continent from mining and drilling for energy resources.

"People are really sick and tired of seeing pictures of another glacier melting, another forest dying. This whole approach of the doomsday scenario is not working because people switch off and they think - 'well we can't do anything'. It's not working, this whole showing endless pictures saying there is a problem, I think anyone in the real world knows there's a problem, what we've got to do now is say, how can we inspire people?" Robert said.

To support this expedition and raise awareness of climate change Sky News has developed a Live blog that allows people to follow and engage with the trip. The blog includes interviews with polar experts, deep background analysis of the major issues and shows how the exhibition members themselves are reacting to the Antarctic. People can comment on the videos, tweet using the #2041 and engage in the debate that in the end will be crucial for the future of Antarctica.
