Iceland - Jan Mayen - East Greenland

Dates: 10th July - 28th July 2010

Ocean Miles: 670

Inshore Miles: 320

Passage Summary:

This is going to be an exciting passage!  The team will join the boat in Akureyri - Iceland, then sail north to Jan Mayen.  Given fair winds we should reach the island in three days for a chance to climb Beeremberg.  Once off the mountain the next stage is a shorter sail towards East Greenland and Scoresby Sund, largest fjord in the world.  At the western end of the fjord lies Milne Land, and that's where we hope to stretch the legs once again amongst the stunning Alpine style peaks.  

This is an adventurous and demanding challenge combining open ocean sailing with some very big mountains.  The perfect recipe for the trip of a lifetime!

Greenland experts Paul Walker and Paul Rose will be guiding on this trip for Tangent Expeditions.  With 20 years of commercial expeditioning in Greenland, Tangent Expeditions have a few rather special places to share with us!  We can't wait for this one!

Jan Mayen Expedition

Dates: 26th June - 08th July 2010

Ocean Miles: 810

Passage Summary:

Building on the success of two expeditions to Jan Mayen in 2009, once again we've teamed up with Norwegian Adventure operator Eco Expeditions for another voyage to this remote Arctic island.  Sailing from north Iceland, we're a whole day closer to the island than when starting from Norway.  

We're hoping to have 6 full days on the island providing enough time to climb Beeremberg, 2277m, as well as explore one of the most isolated islands in the northern hemisphere.
