The Project:
A first time ever crossing of Greeenlands Icecap with snowboard and kite
Our goal is to attempt an ice cap crossing for the first time ever with snowboard and kite, also called snowkiting, by hauling all the equipment in a pulka (sled).
Also making a 24hours distance record on snowboard and kite on the icecap.
We will follow a new crossing route, starting from the southern tip of Greenland's icecap and heading north to one of the settlements on the West. Starting from the south gives us an opportunity to have more favourable winds and to go faster. The trip will take approximately 30-40 days, period departure august 2007
Ecological: through this expedition we believe that we have a unique opportunity to help raise awareness of the importance of wind and the energy that can be harnessed from this element. And of course the climate changes in Greenland and the effects on Europe.
