The fact is that it never could be done before-the ice-choked Arctic would not have allowed it-which is kind of the point: to focus the world's attention on the impact of global warming. That three of the four men are MBAs from Kellogg and Wharton should, by now, be no surprise. Business schools still send the lion's share of graduates into finance and consulting, and I'd be lying if I said most of those who are starting their own companies are going to market with strikingly original ideas: something new to the world. But increasingly, they're using their degrees to tackle big, intractable problems: poverty, clean water, global warming. They're not thinking small anymore. They're thinking big. Arctic Ocean big.
