Above is a map of the worlds largest island - Greenland! Our route will take us from Tasillaq on the east coast to a point just south of Sisimiut on the West coast, a trip of approx 350miles.

The first half of the trip will be gradually uphill, and with our sledges being at their heaviest this is where we envisage to having to work the hardest! We will attempt to make 10-12 miles a day at this earliest stage which doesnt sound a lot but will probably take 12 hours skiing to achieve! As we progress further onto the icecap the weather will possibly worsen, dropping temperatures and fiercer winds, but with lighter sledges and our bodies getting fitter we should be able to up our daily mileage until we eventually reach the summit at approx. 2700m.  After this the ice levels out and eventually starts to run slightly downhill. This is when we hope to put in big days of 18 - 20 miles until we reach the West coast at Sondre Stromfjord.

But, as with all polar expeditions, it all depends on the weather……………………..
