I april 2011 legger vi ut på en skitur over en diger isbre litt vest for fedrelandet. Bloggen er opprettet med tanke på dem som lurer på hvordan vi klarer oss, dem som godter seg over å sitte i vårsola å nyte en utepils mens vi trekker med oss alt vi trenger for å overleve, dem som gjerne skulle vært med, men hadde en såkalt god unnskyldning for å la være, og ikke minst for oss selv når dagene går over i hverandre og alt er hvitt.

Day 24: A couple of inuits on dog sleds caught up with us this afternoon on their way to pick up some tourists in Kangerlussuaq. They came from Isortoq and told us that the British expedition that we killed time with in Tasiilaq got in trouble during the storm (a horrible piteraq, as they said) and had to be rescued. That made us realize how severe weather really was while we were sheltered by the tent. For the next 3 days or so we are headed towards a point called Dog camp and not straight towards the exit point of the glacier. This is to avoid problems with the melting water which has trapped expeditions previous years. Dist: 37.1 km Pos: N66deg45.626min W047deg19.858min Elev: 1776 m
