  • Its getting about time to round of this years expedition season on Greenland. Of the 5 expeditions that sat fot on the icecap close to Isortoq on the east coast only 2 made it all the way to point 660 on the west coast and we congratulate the 8 strong norwegians that made it yesterday! Starting 15:th of September all activity on the icecap will be forbidden until beginning of April when the expeditions will start once again going the other direction, west - east.

  • Då börjar det bli dags att runda av expeditionssäsongen på Grönland för i år. Av de fem expeditioner som satte sin fot på isen vid Isortoq nu under hösten var det bara 2 expeditioner som kom fram och vi gratulerar årets andra expedition som kom in igår http://greenland2011.wordpress.com! Från och med i övermorgon är det förbjudet att befinna sig på isen och nu får helt enkelt istäcket repa sig fram till mitten av April när det är dags igen, då för fler expeditioner som går åt andra hållet!
