Introduction

In May 2005 I completed a long-standing dream – to ski across the Greenland icecap.

Here are some extracts from my expedition diary.

Our international team consisted of:

• Einar Torfi Finnsson (lead guide)
• Fridjon (Freon) Thorleifsson (assistant guide)
• Michael Gatehouse, (Australia)
• David Sinclair (Australia)
• John Clark (New Zealand)
• Sumiyo Tsuzuki (Japan)
• Arnold Witzig (Switzerland/Canada)
• Louise Scott (Scotland)
