Expedition 360 is the name of a successful attempt by Briton Jason Lewis to be the first person to circumnavigate the globe, passing through two opposing points on the Earth's surface and crossing the equator, using only human power. It was begun by Lewis and Stevie Smith in 1994 and ended at 12:24 pm on 6 October 2007, when Lewis crossed the meridian at Greenwich, London, having travelled an estimated 74,842 km (46,505 mi).
