We have a departure date on the 1. of April from Sønderstrømfjord and final destination in Isortoq.
Our waypoints (may change):
SDR.FJ: 67'00'19.77N 50'41'25.21W
Isortoq: 65'40'17.34N 39'04'36.81W
There is no official Danish or world record in crossing the ice cap of Greenland
We have contacted GUINNESS book of records to make the attempt official. Many expeditions have crossed the ice cap, but from different posititions, we will depart from the waters of the Fjord and finish on the shores of Isortoq. Between these two waters, that is our time frame.
Quickest crossing without support:
"World record"*
1995, Sjur Mødre
11 days & 12 hours
Total 575 km
*There are doubts on where Sjur started and ended his trip.
Quickest Danish time??
We would like to hear from any Danish team, who has crossed the ice cap within 20 days.
We have heard of a team that crossed the ice cap quicker than Sjur - if anyone knows of this team, please e-mail
