With a focus on the young explorers, the Greenland 2009 expedition aims to make contributions to the development of personal values and beliefs and relationships with others, the environment and the world. Young people will be guided and supported to undertake significant scientific work and challenging journeys in a remote and wild landscape to achieve these aims.

BSES run overseas expeditions for 16-23 year olds to some of the most remote regions on Earth. To find out more go to http://www.bses.org.uk/

Packing the supplies





All food and equipment supplies have been sorted and packed up into boxes onto palettes or into barrels to be put onto the container which will leave for Nanortalik soon. Lots of 'luxury' food items have been included to complement the dehy ration packs.
