Ski (?) Mountaineering in Greenland

May 28th 2013


Description

In August 2012 two members of UBC’s Varsity Outdoor Club,
Christian and Line Veenstra, travelled to Milne Land. An island
located off the East coast of Greenland, Milne Land is located inside
iceberg-choked Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system in the
world, approximately 120km from the closest town of
Ittoqqortoormiit (population ~450).
Join Christian and Line as they do a lot of slogging around
crevasses on bare glacial ice before eventually finding a way onto
the upper icecap to climb and ski peaks in this rarely visited area.
