In 2001 we crossed the Inland Ice of Greenland on skis. We started in Kangerlussuaq on 10 April and arrived in Isortoq on 10 May. It was a fantastic trip and there was no doubt in our minds that we would return some day to do another expedition.

In 2007 we will be at it again. Only this time the distance we are going to ski is roughly four times the distance we covered in 2001.

On 20 April 2007 we will start our ascent of the Inland Ice in Narsaq and then point our skis towards Qaanaaq, where we expect to arrive in late May 2007. The dotted line on the map roughly indicates the route we will be following.

The total distance we are going to cover is approximately 2,400 kilometres. Once again we are going to use kites to aid our progress, and we are very much looking forward to re-experiencing the exhilerating feeling of moving across the ice cap at warp speed accompanied by the high pitched whine of the wind in the rigging.

In 2005 three "kite-propelled Norwegians" managed to ski 440 kilometres on the Inland Ice in just 24 hours. That was a new world record! Will we be able to break that record? Well, time will show. The meteorological conditions will have do be no less than ideal (basically we need the perfect storm), but we are certainly going to give it our best shot.

As a service to those who are interested in our project we will update our Status Report continuously.
