Crossing the Greenland IcecapTwo weeks ago, I successfully completed a ski crossing of the second largest icecap in the world in Greenland. We spent 28 days on the icecap skiing a total distance of over 550km/340miles. This journey is considered one of three major polar expeditions, the other two being the North Pole and South Pole. I will slowly begin to share the story from my journey and the lessons I learned from it, with the intention that you too find your own icecap to cross. For now, here are two of my favorite pictures from the expedition (I clearly love silhouette shots). Many more to come…

I have also tried skiing in Greenland, and it was some experience!
But for the reason years I have been in Greenland to go riding on a mountain bike between the mountains. This gives you a rush! The faster pace when you are riding the mountain bike will make you go much faster around to see more things. It’s epic!
