GREENLAND CROSSING SUPPORTED BY DOGSLEDGE

Almost there... the team has been preparing for months now. Itineraries, flights, equipment, permits at work, family...all had to match. Finally now all of them are ready to fly to Kangerlussuaq and start the crossing. On the East side of Greenland our guide Sigrid Ekran is ready to go as well. Since dogs "live" in Isortoq she will have to cross the Icecap first in order to meet the team at dog camp West side. Here's is today's report :

Playing with kids and pup's at Isortoq. Great people and an amazing village of 40 adults and 23 kids. Everyone so welcoming and happy! -Sigrid

Clare and two others skied the 31.5 Km yesterday, and the other 5 including me did the dogs which also involves, skiing, shouting, untangling, encouraging…. We hope to arrive at DYE 2 tomorrow after 22km. DYE is and old relic from America’s early warning ballistic systems against the Russians… —————————————————————————————– Friday 15th May: We did the planned 22km today, and here we are at our planned stop to visit DYE 2, a surreal experience seeing a building that was evacuated in 48 hours as it was at risk of collapse…. went into the radar dome and just wandered around this ghost structure. + The dogs are in good form, howling half the time as some are in heat. Lying here now listening to 32 dogs barking and howling, the lack of sleep is more annoying than anything else. I (Mike) am back on the dogs tomorrow and Clare is skiing, they will sleep tomorrow night, after I finish driving them on or myself insane… Weather fabulous today but very cold. An amazing day, sunny and no wind at all. We had a We had a really good dinner, brownies and a drink before visting the station. In the evening the ski group came and joined us at our campsite.

CLOSE TO AN END PUBLISHED ON MAY 28 BY ALF IN GREENLAND WITH DOGSLEDGE 2015 The expedition is getting close to the end. We will reach the pick up position tomorrow around 13.00, where Anja, Tom, Ian and Chris will fly home. We are now resting for 5 hours before our last night run. Claire and Mike will run the last leg with Salo and me to the waterline where people, dogs and equipment will be picked up by boat on Friday going to Isortoq. Happy campers! -Sigrid

TOWARDS ISORTOQ PUBLISHED ON MAY 29 BY ALF IN GREENLAND WITH DOGSLEDGE 2015

The helicopter could not come and pick the guys up by the ice front today.

Now the forecast is bad weather for the next two days. That means everyone get to go to Isortoq ... -Sigrid

WE MADE IT ! PUBLISHED ON MAY 30 BY ALF IN GREENLAND WITH DOGSLEDGE 2015 After a rough night of traveling and fighting the wind, it feels extra good to be safe and happy in Isortoq. The dogs are enjoying a big meal of meat, and we are enjoying a hot, loooong shower.

I'm so proud of the team, people and dogs! Amazing trip!
