Greenland

Cecilia Carreri tells us: "We set off for Greenland, towards the Arctic Circle, from Reykijavik. The plane approached the eastern coasts of Greenland, on the 66° parallel, and below us we could see the ocean, covered in icebergs, and the chain of brown granite mountains surrounding the icecap, similar to the Italian Alps. There were eight of us, and I was the only woman.

After a brief stop in the village of Tasiilak, the Inuit took us on their boats to the head of the Knud Rasmussen Glacier, an immense flow of seracs, hundreds of kilometres long.
The crossing was really tough, over numerous, really deep crevasses; each of us dragged our own baggage on a sled, called a Pulka.

The sun shone all the time, even at night. In this desert of snow, ice and mountains, we didn't meet a soul.
Those same areas were explored by Guido Monzino's expeditions, together with the mountain guides from Valtournanche. To this day, many of those mountains have no name, because they are still untouched by human visitors".
