Counting down the last days

After much preparation we’re finally counting down the last days before we board the Grigory Mikheev in Kangerlussuaq. For twelve days – from Thursday 25 Sept to Monday 6 Oct – you’ll be able to follow the voyage in blogs from over 40 artists, musicians and scientists. We’ll be brushing aside snow and breaking out the portable satellite gear to broadcast text, images and video direct from the deck of the boat as we sail through the extraordinary Disko Bay. Check the website daily, subscribe to the podcast or sign up for the daily email update to follow our journey.
