Stories of adventure and the coolest product releases delivered straight to your inbox In 2010, Aleksander decided to kayak the Atlantic Ocean saying that he had paddled almost everything else.  Actually, Aleksander didn’t decide to kayak the Atlantic.  “With my hand on my heart, it wasn’t my idea,” Aleksander recalled to The New York Times Magazine in 2018. “I was infected with a virus.” The virus-induced journey saw him kayak from Senegal to Brazil. He paddled over 3,300 miles in 99 days, saw his skin break out in a salt water induced rash, almost lost his fingernails to exposure, and had his eyes rage from conjunctivitis. The suffering was worth it however as Aleksander’s journey saw him become the first human to ever cross the Atlantic in a kayak.  Aleksander took a longer route for his second trip across this Atlantic, this time paddling from Lisbon to Florida in 2013. The 7,721-mile journey took 167 days and, again, was a first of its kind expedition.  Aleksander completed one of his last goals on February 22 when he reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, Africa. After admiring the view, he sat on a rock to rest then died.
