A dog sled supported ski touring expedition into the mountainous fjordlands of East Greenland, climbing peaks and making first descents in one of the remotest regions on Earth. Leaving our base in the tiny village of Kulusuk behind, the team will travel out accross the frozen sea ice, with all baggage carried on dog sleds driven by Inuit mushers. Amongst this vast wilderness, we will travel into the interior of the mountains, setting up a comfortable basecamp in areas never never seen from ski before. Starting out each day, we'll explore the beautiful mountains that characterise this area, ending the day's descent by the big basecamp tent. Peaks never skied before, at all levels of difficulty, await with spectacular views out over the icebergs and white mountains of Tunu- East Greenland.
