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/

Heading for the fjord






After three busy days in Nanortalik of food organising, logistics confirmations and other jobs to ensure the expedition runs smoothly it is time to head to the fjord.
The fjord has been blocked by ice all week but in the last 24 hours the wind has changed to a North Easterly. This has blown the ice out sufficiently to allow boats to enter and exit the fjord. At 9am this morning it was questionable but by 10am, lots of chin scratching and some coffee the barge was loaded with equipment and everyone on their way!
