Welcome

Greenland is a beautiful remote wilderness and is the largest island in the world. The vast majority of Greenland is made up by its icecap, which in places is up to two miles thick. Although this arctic environment is beautiful, it is also harsh and conditions can be extreme. Temperatures on the Icecap can drop to minus 20 degrees and even lower when wind-chill is taken into consideration.

Nick Histon and Joe Keith will aim to traverse the Greenland icecap in April 2012. They will pull their all their own supplies behind them in pulks (sledges) in a traditional unsupported Polar expedition. This will mean trekking anything from 10 - 20 miles a day and then camping on the icecap at night. They will trek for approximately 25 days covering a distance of 360 miles. Nick and Joe may encounter polar bears and will probably have to traverse crevasse fields.

Nick and Joe will be aiming to raise money for the Southampton General Intensive Care unit. Please see the charity link for more details about a worthy cause.
