Friday the 7th of march we met in Drevvatn, Silje's hometown. This weekend we will stay at Haaland's in, to spend heaps of money on gear and afterwards mekke det i stykker?:)

Øvingshelg mars

Våknet i dag på Vassendsætra. I går kitet vi over Gjevilvatnet, i dag skulle vi tilbake, veldig rundt regna 1,5 mil. Titter ut, været er perfekt...

Finse januar

01.01.08 dro tre jenter fra nyttårs-sus og rus opp til snaufjellet. På Finse ramlet vi av toget med telt, ski, kiter, skiseil, mat og alt som skal til for en uke på fjellet...

Almost at the beginning!

We have started the countdown for our departure for Greenland; there is now one week left before we leave Norway. Silje has one exam left in Tromsø, Saskia is just finishing her article on altitude sickness in Belgium and Ingrid in Trondheim has begun her last week of work. We are still waiting for some paperwork to show up, one of our kites is travelling with postman Pat somewhere in Norway and how are we doing with that lunch? Of course everything is under control.... Trying to focus on other things, like exams, is quite hard at the moment.

Even if we shipped our gear long time ago, there is still a “thousand little things” to organize before we leave.

During the expedition this site will be updated with thrilling stories from our little adventure, so stay tuned…

Background for this expedition

In 2006, while killing time in the tent, a crazy idea popped into the minds of three girls: they wanted to cross the icecap of Greenland, utilizing the power from the wind.

The tought seemed unrealistic, and the girls were giggling about the idea at first. But two years later they found themselves at Finse. The tickets were booked and they were well into the planning.

June 2008, we, Saskia, Silje and Ingrid, will fullfill our dream: kite across Greenland.

On this site we will tell you about our plan and update you on our progression before and during the expedition. You will also find amazing photos from three girls just doing what they dreamed two years ago.

The Expedition

16th of June our journey begins. On this day we depart Norway heading for Greenland and Narssaq. There we will hopefully find our gear and then spend a couple of days making sure every last detail is as it should be. Around the 19th we will travel by boat to our starting point in the bottom of Qaleragdlit ima. We will climb the Qaleragdlit glacier to reach the plateau where we can start flying our kites!

From start to endpoint it is 2500 km and we are planning to use between 30 and 40 days on our crossing. The plan is to descend just north of Thule and from there be picked up by boat to get into "town". From here Greenlands ?melkerute? slowly takes us back to Norway, home sweet home, shower, hot shower.
