We have returned home safely, if not a little sore in the head, having spent our last evening tucking into juicy steaks, delicious red wine and far too many vodkas!  It was great fun hanging out in the midnight sun with the hip n’groovie crowd in funky Reykjavik. We also managed [...]

The team spent the bank holiday weekend learning and observing the community rituals of the Inuit population in Isotorq. The team were able to watch how they hunt, cook and the methods they use to survive in the harsh Greenland environment. Chloe said that is was fascinating to observe and that they all felt very [...]

After 2.5hrs of skiing yesterday, the team successfully reached their guide Dines, who was relieved to see them after 3 days alone.  The team were delighted to be reunited with their hot food again and Chloe with her sleeping bag and clothes!
However, after a lengthy discussion with the team, Dines and Mikkel were of the [...]

Frustratingly for the team, communication with Dines has proved difficult and they have been unable to determine if he is on the move towards them. After discussions with Mikkel [...]

Sadly, due to the weather conditions, Dines was not able to move from his tent yesterday which meant the team had to stay put for the whole day.  They are in good spirits and had a great day cozied together around the stove in the boys tent; having long chats putting the world to right, [...]
