Final guide assignment depends on expedition format, group size, and availability. We confirm at selection.
THE EXPEDITION
The expedition
The Greenland ice sheet under kite power, covering in one good day what a hauling team covers in three.
Same ice as the ski crossing, a completely different way to travel it. With a kite and the right wind, the inland ice opens up and the distances stop mattering the way they used to. On the best days you cover ground a hauling team only dreams about.
Thirty-five days, fully self-supported, reading wind and surface from first light to last. It rewards patience and punishes ego. Thomas has crossed this ice more ways than almost anyone alive.
