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/

The Advance Party Have Departed



Finally the time has come and the advance party are now on their way to Greenland! Today they caught the 1pm flight from Heathrow to Keflavic. Then they transferred to a mini bus which took them for the 1.5 hour journey to Reykjavik where they are staying in a high school. The School have very kindly offered to host us as they believe in the value of expeditions.

Tomorrow they will be up early, to the airstrip in Reykjavik and flying to Narsarsuaq. Here they are - all clean and ready for an adventure at Heathrow!
