Ralf and Eva Schöner-Löther. "Im Sommer 1998 begann unsere 1. gemeinsame Fernreise und führte uns in 18 Monaten von Alaska nach Feuerland. Eine weitere Fernreise soll im Sommer 2004 folgen und uns in ca. 2-3 Jahren nach Afrika und/oder Australien und/oder Asien führen." "In the summer 1998 our 1st common remote journey began and led us in 18 months from Alaska to Tierra del Fuego. A further remote journey is to follow in the summer 2004 and to lead us in approx. 2-3 years to Africa and/or Australia and/or Asia." (In German, with translation available)
