On July 8th, after a long day of weaving around melt ponds and over crevasses, we finally stepped onto rock! But the journey was not quite over yet. The next day we had to pull our sleds down 5 km of rough, rocky terrain before reaching the ocean.

It was a great feeling to have completed 2,300km with the aid of kites and ski’s, but also sad to leave such an amazing place behind.

The next day we were picked up by boat and shuttled to the small community of Qaanaaq, one of the most northerly settlements in Greenland. We spent the night there before started to head home. We will spent the next couple days zig zagging across the country before finally getting back to Canada.

We will keep posting updates on our travels through Greenland so keep checking the website: www.pittarak.com
