Map of Route These photos follow a ski traverse in Eastern Greenland that I completed in June of 2002. Greenland is about five times the size of Japan but only 55,000 people live on the island. Out of this tiny population, only 3,000 live on the entire remote eastern coast. To reach Greenland's Icecap we took a ski plane from Akureyri, Iceland. From our drop off point we skied 185 miles south in 20 days. At our last camp we were picked up by helicopter and flew to Ammassalik, Greenland then by plane back to Iceland.
