Can you believe it! We are ready for take-off and just 3 days before departure the Greenlandic government brings out new regulations that take effect exactly on the date we were due to fly out. How crazy is that after one year of preparing our photography expedition!? We have no other choice than to accept this decision for the health of the local people that must and absolutely comes first. So with heavy hearts we have to postpone our adventure to next year and we will be back with the same amount of excitement and preparation. Thanks to all of you out there that are supporting us! Like the Inuit proverb says – Only the Spirits of the Air know what awaits me behind the mountains, but still I travel onwards.

Yes, we have been left empty by this decision. It’s understandable but it was very unlucky with the timing. I guess many people have been left far worse off then just having a trip cancelled so in perspective it is easier to swallow. So with all the airfares booked, equipment packed, food organized and safety devices recharged we are left to undo what is done and start re-booking for next year. It won’t be bigger and better as we are 100% prepared to tackle the wilds now but it hopefully will be safer times to travel, where the locals are once again happy to have intrepid travelers back. We now have another year to look forward to realizing a dream!

2023 update :

In the summer of 2022, I embarked on my third expedition to the land of giant icebergs. After three years of planning and facing several setbacks due to the pandemic, it was finally time for adventure again – a 450 km, fully self-supported stand-up paddling journey along Greenland’s wild and spectacular northwest coast in search of the elusive supraglacial lakes.

Setting up this expedition and working as an adventure photographer in such a remote part of the world was both challenging and humbling. A lot of hard work, commitment, and endurance went into capturing my personal vision and perspective on the icy landscapes of Greenland. Now, after a year of sharing what I have learned and experienced, I would like to thank you all for your interest, constant motivation, and the excitement you’ve shown. Qujanaq! 🙏🏻🙌🏼
