Arctic Circle Race - 2009

In March 2009 I will be participating in a fantastic adventure. The classic Arctic Circle Race Ski Route extends over a distance of 160 km across a magnificent arctic landscape, 65 km north of the Polar Circle.

Get more information from the Arctic Circle Race website and additional details will be posted after the event.

Watkins Range Expedition - 2007

The Watkins Range, on the East coast of Greenland at 68 degrees north, is home to ten of the highest mountains in the Arctic with Gunnbjorn Fjeld being the highest at 3,694m.

In May 2007 I spent four weeks on a ski mountaineering expedition in this region. We successfully reached the summit of Gunnbjorn Fjeld on 15 May 2007; we reached the summit of Qaqqaq Kershaw (the second highest at 3,683m) on 31 May 2007, and enjoyed the challenge of numerous peaks in between.

A 2009 calendar displaying many of the breathtaking images captured during this expedition was created and widely distributed.

Expedition Itinerary

Louise Scott
 It all began with a newspaper article published in The Scotsman on Monday 24th January 2000. That simple piece of text fuelled the imagination and gave rise to thoughts of fulfilling a dream of traveling to the Arctic; of playing golf in extreme and unusual conditions and of the extraordinary people that would be encountered on the journey.

This in turn led to the crossing of the Greenland Ice Cap in 2005 and further Arctic and Antarctic adventures.

This web site provides information on previous and future expeditions as well as information on business and speaking opportunities.
