NWP 2003
Skiing through the North West Passage 100 years after Amundsen |
Go to website | Bengt Egil Rotmo _Randulf Valle _ |
| The expedition intend to cross-country ski trough the passage, and as far as we know we will be the first to do so. Along the trail we will have to deal with some of the roughest climatic conditions of the globe, as well as the sea ice and the numerous polar bears. Heading from the west to the east, we choose the opposite direction of Amundsen, but our route will be roughly the same. We will start in Kugluktuk (Coppermine), and will pass Cambridge Bay, Gjoa Haven, Taloyoak and Arctic Bay before we reach the finish in Pond Inlet. Total distance will be approximately 2000-2500 kilometres. We will start in March 2003, and hope to reach the goal in early June. |

Greenland Expedition 1888
The first unsupported crossing of Greenland |
Go to website | Fritjof Nansen (Exp.Leader) |
| The six-man expedition started mid june in 1888. The first obstacle was to row from the ship to the coast. This part was estimated to a couple of hours. They needed 12 days! This was because of strong winds and ice along the coast. They finally managed to reach the coast, about 450 km south of their original destination. The trek across Greenland was long and hard and far away from the original route. The environment and cold weather was rough, but their major trouble was pulling the sledges and melting water. Almost two months later the team finally reached the west coast, looking back on a trek that no man had ever had gone. In addition to a historic first trek across Greenland, the scientist Nansen also meteorological conditions, and other important scientific data. |
