Briton first to walk length of Amazon

After 859 days, thousands of kilometers and "50,000 mosquito bites," Ed Stafford became the first man known to have walked the entire length of the Amazon River when the waves of the Atlantic Ocean lapped at his feet in northern Brazil on Aug. 9. While he says he is "no eco-warrior," Stafford said he hoped his feat would raise awareness of destruction to the Amazon rainforest — but that at its heart, it was simply a grand expedition of endurance. There are at least six known expeditions along the course of the Amazon River but those used boats.(AP)
