Every year, Greenland Expedition Specialists provide logistics to many remote areas in Greenland. We often have an empty boat, helicopter, dog sled or ski equipped Twin Otter on one leg of each journey; either returning after dropping a team off, or on the way to picking them up. If these spaces are filled, logistical costs are often much-lowered. The following list details the current opportunities to share logistics. If you haven't yet decided upon the area you would like to visit, have a look over some of the trips described below- many are to some of the most exciting areas in Greenland.
Also, for those expeditions organising logistics through GES, if you still have free places in your team, you can place a 'team members required' note in the Expeditions List. Please contact the office to do so.

Schweizerland- Knudd Rasmussen Glacier
Rising to 3360m, the Schweizerland Range offers much potential for first ascents and early repeats of routes at all grades. Many fine classic alpine peaks, gneiss walls up to 900m high suited to free climbing, and mixed climbing potential. Heavily glaciated, allowing relatively easy travel into Basecamp.
