Swiss ocean explorer turns 80
Jacques Piccard, the first man to descend to the deepest point of the ocean, says he remains as committed as ever to preserving the world’s lakes and seas.
Part of a dynasty famed for numerous record-breaking feats, Piccard shows no sign of slowing down as he celebrates his 80th birthday. And he continues to work at his Centre for the Protection of the Sea and Lakes in Lausanne.
“There are still many things I wish to do before I pass on to the other side. I have various projects and I hope to be able to accomplish at least one or two or them,” he told swissinfo.
Piccard currently runs a programme that takes children from his home canton of Vaud to the bottom of Lake Geneva to educate them about issues such as pollution.
He says he also intends to continue his mission to inform the world of the grave dangers facing the globe’s water resources.
