Posted in Education, Schools 509 days ago
Well it is now just a few days until I depart again and head out once more to the Arctic. This time I am part of a team skiing 550 km across the massive Greenlandic Ice Cap. I am currently living in a building site and getting ready for the next expedition is no easy task but one you have to laugh at. My kitchen is un-usable as the ceiling is being taken down so its back to cooking on a stove, just like being on expedition.
