The Outer Edge Polar Challenge (OEPC) is not just an expedition – it’s a world-first test of human innovation, renewable technology, and resilience at the end of the Earth. In June 2026, expedition leader Charles Werb and his team will travel to Iceland to attempt three Official Guinness World Records, showcasing the power of Wind & Solar Energy in the planet’s most extreme environment.

Each record pushes the boundaries of performance, endurance, and connectivity — all powered by nature and verified by Guinness World Records, and Broadcast Live to the world.

Record 1: Fastest GPS-Verified Speed by a Wind-Powered Snow Sailer on a Glacier

Objective: Achieve the highest GPS-verified speed ever recorded by a wind-powered snow sailer on a glacier, demonstrating the performance, control and engineering excellence of the SWOOSH Snowsailer.

Minimum Requirements (Guinness World Records):

  • Vehicle must be 100% wind-powered (no stored mechanical or electrical propulsion).
  • Speed measured using an independently verified high-frequency GNSS/GPS logger.
  • Complete GPS data, onboard video and external video retained for verification.
  • Independent witnesses to verify the attempt and environmental conditions.
Record 2: Greatest Distance Travelled in 24 Hours by a Wind-Powered Snow Sailer on a Glacier

Objective: Cover the greatest possible distance within 24 hours, solely driven by wind power — proving that renewable propulsion can sustain continuous travel in sub-zero, high-wind environments.

Minimum Requirements (Guinness World Records):

  • Travel must occur within a single 24-hour period, logged continuously.
  • All motion must be wind-propelled; any outside assistance disqualifies.
  • GNSS tracking with ≤ 1 m accuracy.
  • Independent data logger + video submission to GWR.
Record 3: Longest Adventure-Expedition Live Stream on YouTube (24 Hour Qualification)

Objective: Deliver the longest continuous adventure livestream direct from The Subarctic — showcasing the expedition, environment, and educational impact in real time to a global audience.

Minimum Requirements (Guinness World Records):

  • Stream must be continuous and publicly viewable on YouTube.
  • Must run for a minimum of 24 hours to qualify, with evidence of uninterrupted connection.
  • Entire stream must originate from the adventure environment, not a studio.
  • Metadata logs, screenshots, and technical verification required.
