Ep. 23: from hell to paradise
Our polar bear encounter finally behind us, we woke up to Svalbard in all its glory.
A small pond of frozen freshwater ice mesmerized us for hours, before continuing our journey up up up Nordenskioldbreen.
Ep. 22! One eventful day. After a night in our favorite cabin and a lucky visit by friends from UNIS Svalbard we decided to change our route and aim for Nordenskioldbreen, a magnificient glacier in Billefjorden. The day turned into one very long flat day of skiing on really dry sea ice, exposed to some biting winds. All we were hoping for after this was a good night of sleep in our tents. But there's never such thing as a "restful" night on Svalbard.
Episode 21: On the Road Again! There's nothing harder than leaving a warm and comfy room for another 300 km on skis, pulling our heavy pulks. But we were actually pretty eager to tackle this part of the journey that gradually got us closer to familar areas, where friends could come to the rescue if needed. Goodbye lovely Pyramiden, thank you for the warm welcome! #Expedition  #arctic
Ep. 19: welcome to Pyramiden!
What a warm welcome we got in beautiful Pyramiden. After a delicious meal, a shower and a comfy bed, our bodies could rest a bit for the first time in ten strenuous days. It was time to fix our small injuries, dry all our equipment, and sort our the food resupply for the next leg of the journey. But first, a little bit of exploration in town!

Ep. 18 part 2: in the eye of the storm
Get ready for more videos from our Climate Sentinels expedition!
After one big push to get closer to Pyramiden, we were forced to camp to weather yet another storm. The next morning, what looked like a short weather window convinced us to leave the safety of our tent and ski hard towards Pyramiden.

Ep. 18: trying to escape
Waking up to the most beautiful morning of the expedition to face the hardest day yet.

Ep. 17: another day, another storm
Crazy winds pinned us down for 2 more days and 2 nights. This abnormal weather is slowing our progress and making every step more dangerous than the last. We need to keep moving to avoid running out of food before our food depot in Pyramiden.

Ep. 16: blue bird day Finally! The sun is shining, the temperatures have fallen right back down to where we expect them to be, this is Svalbard at its best. This is all well and good but another storm is coming, we need to find shelter ASAP.

Ep. 15: getting the hell outta there After two nights sheltering in the snow cave we realised that we had two options: either be stuck there for several more days or try to leave and ski down the mountains where the winds are less horrible. We made a run for it but it was by far the most stressful day of the expedition so far. Don't be fooled by the blue skies, this was hell in disguise.

Ep. 14: "Winds up to 140 km/h" Our survival during our expedition was only made possible thanks to the amazing team of polar experts, scientists, friends from all over who sent us weather forecasts several times a day. The biggest storm of the expedition hit us hard, but luckily we had a few hours to prepare for it, and dig ourselves deep in the snow to avoid losing our tents. This is a huge thank you to all of these amazing human beings.

Ep. 13: whiteout"a condition in which daylight is diffused by multiple reflections between a snow surface and an overcast sky; contrasts vanish, and the observer is unable to distinguish the horizon or any snow surface feature."#Arctic #w hiteout #S now #s kilife #e xpedition
Ep. 12: crevasse land?On paper, the first few days of the expedition looks pretty challenging. The first glacier we had to ski on, Kongsvegen, had been gradually accelerating for years and we would likely be the first ones crossing its lower part on skis in 2021.#Svalbard #Arctic #expedition #climatechange
Ep. 11: The first days are always painful. After a rather short night in the vicinity of Ny Alesund we set off for a long day of skiing. Our weather luck ran out pretty quickly and soon we were bathed in horizontal snow. #Arctic #Svalbard #snow
Ep. 10 So it begins.I had thought about this moment for years. And here we were, starting to ski the streets of Ny Alesund while everyone was fast asleep. Expedition day 1, the dream had finally become reality.#Svalbard #A rctic #A dventure #S TEM #p ulkalife #s kilife
Ep. 9 The expedition begins!! After years and years of preparations, here we finally are, ready to embark on our boat to Ny Alesund!
Ep. 8. The sun always shines after the stormAfter several days stuck indoors because of the high avalanche danger we finally were allowed to do some training outside!#expedition #cl imate #ex tremeweather #ar ctic
