“Without hope we are nothing... As a Boy I read the stories of Scott ,Shackleton and Amundsen and I was inspired to one day walk to both poles. We did it. One tale however always stayed with me and that was the story of August Courtauld on the Greenland Icecap.. Alone... During our long Antarctic winter as we waited to march to the South Pole I often thought of his TRUE isolation..  and it gave me hope that I could make it  through ..  I think it is excellent  in a time of gloom that Chloe and her team are going back to respect and remember.. What a Great and VERY HOPEFUL expedition. 
I wish I was coming with them.”

“The Greenland ice cap is one of the least hospitable, most extreme environments on the planet. But we still know very little about it. The Ice Cap Station Arctic Challenge is a vitally important mission– not just to broaden our understanding of the world’s largest island, but also to celebrate the achievements of an incredibly brave team of young adventurers whose epic journey across Greenland eight decades ago helped unlock the ice cap’s frozen door for future generations of explorers to enter.”
