Despite foggy conditions, the expedition team covered 29 kilometers on Saturday, Sept. 16. With 90 kilometers to go, the end is in sight. Food plays a crucial role in this expedition. Not surprisingly, that expedition members actually run a half marathon every day.
Toward the end. Despite wear and tear and physical discomfort, the expedition team remained determined and headed for the final stretch toward the expedition’s end point.
The expedition team has completed more than two-thirds of the trek. On Wednesday, Sept. 13, they visited a completely abandoned airstrip and the abandoned Dye 2 radar station. Especially at this radar station, all sorts of things could be seen. Now the team heads northwest for the final leg of the trek.

The Greenland Expedition has reached the highest point, moreover, they are also over halfway through the expedition. The next target is the radar station DYE 2. With sleds getting lighter and lighter, it still remains a challenge.
The expedition team had to walk against the wind all day today. So it was quite draining. Despite the storm and cold, the team also peaked on this day.
On day 16 of the Greenland expedition, we finally had nice weather, which allowed us to cover a lot of miles.
The expedition team traveled quite a distance today on “warm” ice and enjoyed the little details that make the landscape a little different each time. Moreover, the team also already has plans for the next day.
Update on the Greenland crossing from a quiet tent. The storm has finally subsided, but there is another catastrophe. Despite all the setbacks, the team is celebrating a beautiful milestone.
