Tours to Greenland from the US - now online
Jon Russill's Blog By Jon Russill on Wednesday, December 06, 2006

Our new tours to Greenland departing from Baltimore in the US are now online!  Here are the details:

Ilulissat and Kangerlusuaq
These tours are combinations of two of the most interesting destinations in West Greenland: Ilulissat is located next to the biggest glacier in the northern hemisphere and the town over looks the famous ice fjord, filled with huge icebergs drifting slowly towards the open sea. Here you can also experience the life and culture of the Greenlanders north of the Polar Circle. The Kangerlussuaq area has a unique landscape and the offers the best chance of seeing Arctic wildlife like musk oxen and reindeer.

Jon Russill's Blog By Jon Russill on Monday, December 04, 2006

The first of our Greenland cruises are now up on the website.  These are both in West Greenland and take place in the summer, one heading northwards and one heading southwards.  With the chance to see whales, enormous icebergs and a selection of Greenland's towns and settlements, these offer a fascinating insight into Greenland's west coast.  The boat is the comfortable and modern MV Sarfaq Ittuk, and you'll get to meet the locals on board - they use it to travel the coast from town to town, so ther ...

Scots, sun, sea, sails and seals
Jon Russill's Blog By Jon Russill on Tuesday, October 17, 2006

Had an excellent few days up in Scotland with business partner Matt.  Lots of good meetings with clients that will be using our guiding and logistical services for expeditions in Greenland for both 2007 and 2008.  All very interesting and exciting stuff!  Also good to see Craig Mathieson, one of our North Pole companions from earlier this year, who has some very interesting plans for somewhere a lot further South...

I've not had the chance to spend much time in Scotland recently, and it was really great to have a good explore again.  Perhaps the highlight of the trip was a 2 1/2 day sailing trip on board Matt's Dad's beautiful 60 year old boat.  He's obviously spent a lot of time and effort restoring this old girl, and she's looking great and sailing very nicely.

Forward Planning
Jon Russill's Blog By Jon Russill on Monday, October 09, 2006
With winter fast approaching in Greenland and the first sea ice beginning to form in the sheltered fjords, the last supply boat to the east coast is about to leave.  This quite possibly represents the last contact with East Greenland by surface transport until the sea ice breaks next May or June.  Therefore, although it seems ages off, most of our supplies and equipment required for next year will be on the boat, next to be seen when we unpack it again for our winter and spring expeditions!
