• ... that Australian adventurer Ben Carlin travelled over 80,000 kilometres (50,000 mi) over land and sea in a modified Jeep (pictured), becoming the first person to circumnavigate the world in an amphibious vehicle?

• An impressive new article! Meets length and date requirements; hook is exactly 200 characters (not counting "pictured"), interesting, and hook fact is verified from online source. I'm assuming the nominator has less than 5 DYKs submitted, so QPQ is waived. No other issues. Sasata (talk) 08:20, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
