Polar Explorer - Greenland

Pioneering expedition offering a north to south skiing traverse of Liverpool Land - a little explored peninsular on the east coast of Greenland.  Situated at a latitude of 71 degrees north it is well inside the Arctic Circle.

Over 15days we shall trek approximately 75 miles and experience the Arctic in all its raw natural beauty.   Along the way we will enjoy the mountain range of Liverpool Land and views to the west of Hurry Fjord and Jameson Land.  We will start at the frozen coastline and travel over sea ice, glaciers and valleys.  It will be a physically and mentally challenging expedition and will instil a fantastic sense of achievement.  Travel to the start of the trek will be via skidoo and at the end we will experience an exhilarating helicopter flight with stunning views over sea ice, mountains and the distant ice cap.
