Congratulations to the team members for completing the Greenland Icecap Crossing expedition in just 19 days!
The team woke up bright and early at 3am to ensure they'd be skiing by 5am. The day was cold at -20 degrees Celsius. Snow conditions were outstanding. The team had a 116 meter scary descent and skied 6km on sea ice to meet up with their boat. On the eastern coast the team was welcomed by visions of icebergs and a grand celebration of fireworks hosted by our dog musher's, Salo's and Ulrick's, family.

After meeting Salo's and Ulrick's family, they said their goodbyes and thanked the mushers for all of their hard work and help during the expedition. At 12:30pm, they loaded onto a boat for a 20 minute trip to Isortoc, then, boarded a helicopter and arrived in Tasiilaq by 4:30pm! Oh, and they took a car to the hotel. So a quick recap, they woke up early to ski, walk, boat, fly by helicopter and then take a car to the hotel. Definitely a whirlwind end to a whirlwind beginning!

Finally, the team members showered and relaxed into a lovely celebratory dinner. Tomorrow they'll board flights to Kulusuk and then head off to their respective parts of the world. Great job team!!!
