After 13 years and 46,000 miles (75,00km) a British adventurer has completed a round-the-world journey using human power alone.
Jason Lewis, 40, crossed five continents, two oceans and a sea to become the first person to circumnavigate the globe under his own steam.
He finally returned to the UK on Saturday, crossing the Greenwich Meridian Line, in his custom-designed , 26ft (8m), pedal-powered boat, 'Moksha'. It was the same point where his journey began on 12 July 1994 when he was just 26 years old.
Jason used a variety of modes of transport during his epic journey, including cycling, swimming, kayaking, and in-line skating. His route took him west from Britain to the USA and then on to Australia, Asia, and Africa before returning to Europe from the east.
