For those interested in our adventures but think these trips might be too challenging, we have good news. On October 4, we will be at the Winter Adventure Fair, along with the Arctic Adventure team. There, we will give lectures about our expedition and talk about other exciting trips, both in winter and summer. Don&#8217;t forget to sign up for our newsflash so you don&#8217;t miss any updates! Today, our day started at five in the morning with temperatures around -13 to -14 degrees Celsius. The sky was cloudy, and there was no clear horizon; the clouds seamlessly merged with the snow. I took the first shift, and we navigated by the wind, which, like yesterday, came from the direction of two o&#8217;clock. After my shift, the weather cleared up a bit, and we could orient ourselves by the clouds. Although these changed regularly, our journey went smoothly. In the afternoon, the sun broke through, and it became warm, but as I write this blog, it is completely cloudy again, and a strong wind is blowing. Tomorrow, we expect wind from a different direction, namely eight o&#8217;clock.           <\/p>\n<h2>The Landscape and our Progress<\/h2>\n<p>The landscape here is rolling, similar to the Flevopolder: almost flat, but not quite. We have noticed that we are descending; last night we were at an altitude of 2,497 meters, and now we are at 2,430 meters. The meltwater descends with us towards the west, which can be a challenge due to climate change. We are experiencing a warmer than average year and more meltwater than usual. Today we covered 27.1 kilometers, bringing our total to 286 kilometers. Just ten kilometers to go until the midpoint of our expedition.     <\/p>\n<h2>Looking ahead and Team Dynamics<\/h2>\n<p>Tomorrow we celebrate reaching the midpoint of our expedition. The day after, there will be a special feature where our Basecamp Manager will share more about his role and what Basecamp Management entails. After all, an expedition is not done alone; besides the five of us here in Greenland, we have support from the Netherlands. Tonight, I am enjoying my dinner with Susana in the tent. Ronnie and Michiel are taking care of the food today, while David is spending a solo night in the smaller blue Fj\u00e4llr\u00e4ven tent. We expect a stormy night, so our tents are well anchored. See you tomorrow for the next update!      <\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The team in Greenland shares adventurous updates and invites you to lectures at the Winter Adventure Fair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":25767,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_joinchat":[],"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[311,498],"tags":[307,486],"class_list":["post-25769","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blog-en","category-greenland-2025","tag-expedition","tag-greenland"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25769","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=25769"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/25769\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/25767"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=25769"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=25769"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/arcticadventure.nl\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=25769"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
