A five pages article about the "Baffin Babes" and our expedition preparations is to be found in the newest number of the Norwegian outdoormagazine, "UTE" The magazine can be bought in most norwegian kiosks.


Planning and preparation takes all our time these days. Departure day, 2nd of March is getting closer and closer, and still we have heaps to do. Its hard work, but knowing what beauty and what exciting experiences that lies before us - all of us gives a little extra to get there. We put down a lot of effort in the seach for sponsors, finding the right equipment, getting the permissions needed, contacting locals on Baffin and so on. There are a lot of phonecalls, emails and meetings. Then its good to know; March- June wil be payback time!



Is it really that big?

Aleks from Acapulka came with our new pulkas today. They are 210 cm long and I must admit I was a bit scared by the sight. Are we gonna pull those monsterpulkas for 80 days?

Yes we are. Yes we can!
