THE CROSSING
Greenland. 540km. 25 Days. May 2026.
In May 2026, I’m crossing the Greenland Ice Sheet with a small team. 540km across the second largest ice sheet on earth. 70 to 100kg sleds. Sub-zero conditions for 25 days straight. One of fewer than 5 South Africans to have ever completed an unsupported crossing of Greenland. This page is where you follow the journey. Live tracking, field dispatches, voice notes from the ice, and the full story as it unfolds.

From late April 2026, this is where you follow the crossing in real time. The map below will track our position on the ice live via my Garmin inReach Mini 3 Plus. You can click on any of the icons on the map to get media from the field, including voice notes, images, and written dispatches directly from the ice. Everything updates as conditions allow. No editing. No delay. The story as it happens.
