This book and the associated movie started with my 2007 visit to the Maya forest. From there I took off to the North Pole. This extreme journey was necessary to test my hypothesis that climatic changes that led to the decline of many ancient Maya cities have much in common with the climatic changes we face today. To support this theory, I interviewed geographers, archeologists, anthropologists, as well as many equally renowned scientists. Humbly, I have written these lines, wishing to share my research. Through this book, I expect my readers to sense my heartfelt beliefs. This is really my voice! The book is not just focusing on reality or adventure but on hope as well. Even if everything looks gloomy and we find ourselves in the darkest spot, we can be sure that the sunrays are still there, even if a cloud is momentarily covering them. This is what I learned from my guide, Mary Baker Eddy, and her teachings have helped me discern the right panorama. We know that problems begin in our minds, and once the mind is corrected, the true light appears in our lives.

I am a Guatemalan and I live in what is called the Cradle of the Maya Civilization. In these pages I tell the story of my journey to the North Pole as an environmentalist and expeditionary. My wish is that through my tale, my readers may comprehend that if we live in this small island called planet Earth and are to enjoy the natural resources that Mother Nature provides us, we all should call ourselves environmentalists. If we really understood this, we would care for our world instead of continue to destroy it.
