Expeditie Oost-Groenland

Woensdagavond 16 december zal ik (Niek) een lezing geven voor de Utrechtse Studenten Alpen Club (USAC). Het is de eerste lezing die zal worden gegeven over onze succesvolle expeditie in Ren Land, Oost-Groenland. Wil je ook komen, dat kan. De lezing begint om 21hr en is in een zaal in de Florin en Firkin in Utrecht.

 

Check trouwens de Alpinist website. Een mooi artikel over onze beklimmingen aldaar!!

Greenland Expedition

From August 6 till September the 17th of this year a small expedition will take place in a very remote area on the east coast of Greenland. The destination Renland is a peninsula situated 500 km north of the polar circle in between the world?s biggest fjord and the Greenland icecap. Renland contains a treasure of unclimbed mountains with steep granite pillars and faces of more then 1200 meter in height. In a period of six weeks we will climb unclimbed peaks by not necessarily the easiest route. Due to the lack of information the expedition will have a high amount of exploration.

The expedition will take place together with an other climbing team consisting of Gerke Hoekstra and Martin Fickweiler. 

The expedition is supported by:
