Departure day

After two intense days of preparation, we are almost ready to leave Kangerlussuaq and start our 26 days’ trip towards Isortoq at the east coast. 26 breakfasts, 26 lunches and 26 dinners are packed in day portions now. My personal equipment is packed on sled no. 1. The shared equipment will be packed on sled no. 2.

In a few hours we will enjoy a musk ox burger at the airport, and that will be our last meal which is not dry frozen. After that our restaurant is called Real Turmat.

Tonight we will first be transported by bus to the glacier and then go for an hour or so where we will establish our first camp. Tomorrow will be our first long day with 12 times 30 minutes.

When we leave civilisation tonight we won’t be able to use our cell phones anymore. So my next update will hopefully be from the east coast on May 27th.
