Bring

• Water-proof hiking boots. The best is to bring hiking boots that you are familiar with.
• Good socks to avoid blisters during hikes.
• Warm, water-proof and wind-proof clothes. Dress in layers,the temperature can vary a lot,and it is better to take clothes off if it gets too warm, rather than needing clothes when it gets cold.
• Medicine, glasses, contact lenses and cleaning fluid, and other things for personal use.

Don't forget

• Rainwear
• Mosquito net and lotion
• Cap/Hat
• Your passport, tickets and insurance policy, which your sponsor club has to provide.

There is no need to bring a sleeping bag.

Climate

• Due to the dry air it feels warmer than the thermometer shows. For example 50°F /10°C feels nice and warm, while minus the same temperature does not seem particularly cold. However, it is always cold at sea, partly because the water temperature is only a few degrees above freezing point. It is important to bring enough clothes and be prepared for sudden changes in weather.

Be prepared

• The weather very important. Allways be observant of weather conditions. Be prepared of changes in program, also when changes come at very short notice. In Greenland we sometimes have to say: Maybe we will stick to the program.

Have a nice and unforgettable time
