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/

Friday 22nd May

Up early for a swim and a brisk walk across the city to a school where we have a meeting with the headteacher. It all works rather well and she kindly offers to accommodate the whole expedition in the classrooms on the way there and back! Bingo! Its close to the airstrip so we will get a coach from Keflavik to there and then the next morning just walk to catch our flight to Greenland. On the return we will reverse these plans. Finally it seems that the logistics are starting to drop into place.
In the afternoon we catch the coach for an hour to get to Kefleavik and by 9pm we are at Heathrow. Its been a fast 10 days but we have covered a lot of ground. Can’t wait to be back in Greenland again – there are going to be some great adventures for us all.
