ERIC SCHLAMEISEN (1969) UTRECHT
I am really looking forward to upcoming expedition. Despite heavy weather, extreme cold, broken materials and our arguments during last year's trip, I think we are perfectly prepared to fulfil our next challenge. I can't wait to leave for Greenland again!

Now that our departure is in sight, the tension grows. We are so busy; work, exercise, preparations, media attention and lots more. Still I can hardly wait until the day that we will first launch our kites on the ice.
