It's Official!

Our Greenland team has arrived in Kangerlussuac and is preparing for their departure to the icecap tomorrow afternoon, May 12th. Our Guide, Keith Heger, spent the day organizing and coordinating with the pilots for the team’s flight and purchased the last remaining grocery items. The plane is loaded and waiting!

The expedition’s official kick off begins tomorrow morning at 11am! The team will go over gear, repack luggage and finally transport all items to the Twin Otter plane flying them to the icecap. They will reach the icecap late tomorrow evening.

Today, the temperature in Kangerlussuac is about 32 degrees with overcast skies and light snow.

Prior to arriving in Kangerlussuac, team members Koen and Lieve spent time in Ilulissat exploring the sights on a big hiking tour and enjoyed a boat tour that took them between the icebergs!

Spirits are high and everyone is excited to get the expedition underway. Be sure to check back again tomorrow for additional updates.

Greenland Fact: Greenland covers more than 2,175 million square kilometers (more than six times the size of Germany or slightly more than three times the size of Texas) which makes it the biggest island in the world! It’s around 2,650 kilometers long (north-south) and up to 1,000 kilometers wide (east-west).
