I have my difficulties with this designation, but here is a fascinating project: 6 young scientists from across the board of faculties: Medicine, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Informatics, and, yes, Musicology, meet on an expedition to Ecuador, planning to climb Chimborazo and other famous locations there. They are trying to find and differentiate human influence in this orgy of natural splendour, which is also a prime example of human endeavour and ingenuity: They follow in the footsteps of Alexander von Humboldt, who, climbing Chimborazo in a suit in 1802, was the first human to try to get as far away from the centre of the Earth as you possibly can without using a flying machine (he and two companions reached about 5600 m of altitude, 5900 by their own estimate).
The scientists involved write a blog, also available in English. I commend this project to the friendly attention of the house. Have fun!
