“ The Steger Homestead Kitchen is a very practical and inspirational book of recipes, memories, and meals from the Stegers’ Northwoods Ely kitchen. I love the sustainable, inspirational, and climate-friendly recipes and menus that were guided by Beth Dooley, an award-winning Minnesota cookbook author. This book is a good and important read.”-Beatrice Ojakangas, James Beard Cookbook Hall of Fame author

Will Steiger's dreams of what he wanted to do with his life could be compared to any other typical (and perhaps conforming) aspiration, being a doctor, a policeman, etc. However, Switzerland-born Will Steiger obeyed his more adrenaline-pumped aspiration of being a stuntman. Steiger was met with a discouraging reality in the fact that he could not accomplish this while attending a vocational school. Still fulfilling his attraction towards danger and excitement, Steiger opted for becoming a carpenter. This occupation satisfied young Steiger until a severe accident left him bedridden; admittedly providing him with a great deal of time to think about the course of his life and where he might go from that current point. Frustrated with the fact that he had done many things in his life, yet not having "truly experienced" what he wanted out of it, Steiger knew then it was time for a change. Realizing that life was "not a rehearsal but the performance", Steiger focused his efforts on doing as much of the things that he truly enjoyed. He also realized that it would be just as rewarding to be paid to do what he enjoyed at the same time. And so 2006 became the breakthrough year for the then-24-year-old Will Steiger as he entered the adult filming industry. Between 2006-2010, Will Steiger made 25 films with various companies, however a good number of his works are tied with the company Lethal Hardcore. In addition to a successful 4-year run thus far in the industry, Steiger also has website that provides updates on his recent activity and also provides users with various information concerning his life and work in the business.

Will Steger (born August 27, 1944 in Richfield, Minnesota [1] ) is a prominent spokesperson for the understanding and preservation of the Arctic and has led some of the most significant feats in the field of dogsled expeditions; such as the first confirmed dogsled journey to the North Pole (without re-supply) in 1986, [2] the 1,600-mile south–north traverse of Greenland - the longest unsupported dogsled expedition in history at that time in 1988, the historic 3,471-mile International Trans-Antarctic Expedition - the first dogsled traverse of Antarctica (1989–90), and the International Arctic Project - the first and only dogsled traverse of the Arctic Ocean from Russia to Ellesmere Island in Canada during 1995. [3]

Steger has been invited to testify before Congress on polar and environmental issues based on his first-hand experience in the Polar Regions and environmental expertise.

Steger co-founded the Center for Global Environmental Education (CGEE) [4] at Hamline University in 1991 following the successful International Trans-Antarctic Expedition which reached 15 million students worldwide. In 1993, he founded the World School for Adventure Learning [5] at the University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) . In 2006, due to his growing concern about climate change, he established the Will Steger Foundation to educate and empower people to engage in solutions to climate change. [6] In 2014, he launched the Steger Wilderness Center, his final phase of his larger mission to keep the planet sustainable for future generations. [7]

Steger was a state champion wrestler at Benilde-St. Margaret's School, from which he graduated in 1962. [8] He holds a Bachelor of Science in geology, Master of Arts in education and Honorary Doctorate from University of St. Thomas (Minnesota) , in addition to Honorary Doctorates from Westminster College (Utah) , Northland College (Wisconsin) and Franklin Pierce University . [9]

In 1995 Steger joined Amelia Earhart , Robert Peary , Roald Amundsen and Jacques-Yves Cousteau in receiving the National Geographic Society 's rarely-bestowed John Oliver La Gorce Medal for "accomplishments in geographic exploration, in the sciences, and for public service to advance international understanding". It was the first time the society presented this award in all three categories. The award has not been given since 1995. [10]

Steger received recognition and numerous honors for record setting explorations and interactive educational initiatives: Explorers Club Finne Ronne Memorial Award 1997, National Geographic Society's First Explorer-in-Residence 1996, [11] For his climate change efforts, he has been recognized with the Lindbergh Foundation's Lindbergh Award 2006, Governor Tim Pawlenty 's Minnesota Climate Change Advisory Group 2006, Explorers Club Lowell Thomas Award 2007, and the National Geographic Adventure Lifetime Achievement Award 2007. [12]

Steger's highly acclaimed articles and photographic images are appreciated worldwide, including in National Geographic . He authored four books and his publications, photographs and interviews are distributed globally: Over the Top of the World , Crossing Antarctica , North to the Pole , and Saving the Earth . [13]

Each year, Steger gives more than 100 invited presentations on his eyewitness perspective. Between 2006 and 2008 Steger spoke to more than 640,000 people at public and private events, primarily through the activities of the Will Steger Foundation. Steger especially loves speaking to business leaders and to policymakers. His recent audiences around the country have included Goldman Sachs , the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency , SUPERVALU (United States) , Target Corporation , UnitedHealth Group , Toro, Great River Energy , and Xcel Energy .

Will Steger holds many titles—educator, author, photographer, and lecturer. But polar explorer is perhaps his best known and hardest-won. Steger first reached the North Pole in 1986, leading a team of six (Paul Schurke, Brent Boddy, Richard Weber , Geoff Carroll and Ann Bancroft ) by dogsled. He returned again in 1995, while crossing the Arctic Ocean from Russia to Ellesmere Island , Canada , with a team of five by dogsled and specially adapted canoes.

Steger has also kayaked thousands of miles of northern rivers, including the Peace , MacKenzie , and Yukon .
