Photos: (Top) Oona Skari Duroy and Clio Di Giovanni take shelter from a torrential storm in the Altai Mountains in Mongolia. LAYLA KERLEY (Bottom) Kristine McDivitt (later Tompkins) was a teenager when she started as a shipping clerk for Chouinard Equipment between high school classes. By 1979, Yvon Chouinard had founded Patagonia, and Kris, at 29, became its first CEO, a role she held until 1993, when she retired to lead conservation efforts in Chile with her husband, Doug Tompkins. Their organization, Tompkins Conservation, has helped establish 15 national parks in Chile and Argentina, protecting roughly 14.8 million acres of wilderness in the process. Not bad for a teenager who refused to wear shoes to work. GARY REGESTER
