Wind power

What better way to propel yourself across the Greenland ice cap than using a sustainable source of energy: wind. Using kites it’s possible to reach speeds of over 60 km/h (over 35 mph), while towing a heavy sled with food and equipment behind you. The only downside is that if you fall - by itself a rather uncomfortable experience at those speeds - it’s quite likely you will be run over by the sled, since it has no brakes. Enjoy the ride!
