Last February I went with Henk-Jan Geel of Arctic Adventure, on an “expedition experience” in Lapland, Sweden, and this in “expedition style. I have some experience with outdoor \/ survival \/ bushcraft, but this was a totally new experience. A fantastically organized trip of 69km of back-country skiing, with a sled behind me with all my luggage and 89 insane kilometers on the dog sled.<\/p>\n
It was grueling, my limits were pushed, my endurance was put to the test, but under the enthusiastic guidance of Henk-Jan it became an experience I will never forget.<\/p>\n
Breathtaking nature, endless snow landscapes, frozen lakes that had to be crossed, overnight stays in tents at -20 degrees, crystal clear starry skies with an arctic moon and the fairytale northern lights, encounters with moose and reindeer, huskies that stole my heart, running out of a sauna at -30 and looking at the starry sky on my back in the snow on a frozen lake, and an amazing team with other participants on this trip<\/p>\n
Words fail to describe this experience. It changed me as a person, gave me positive energy to get back to it full force at home. Thank you Henk-Jan, thank you teammates, for this unimaginable experience. Looking for something new?<\/p>\n
