The winter months seemed to have disappeared and the expedition is just around the corner. We have all been busy wrapping up our personal lives and getting ready for our three-month expedition.Our Esquif canoes, shipped two months ago, will arrive in Mongolia first. Ulysse and Elsa depart shortly after, flying to Moscow on June 1st. From there they will embark on the trans-Siberian railroad, traversing Russia all the way to Ulaan Bator, the capital of Mongolia. The city will be our base to pack out before starting our expedition.
Having just returned from guiding an expedition to the North Pole, I will be the next to join the team in mid June.
Last but not least, Eric is in Greenland at the moment, guiding a 2,300 km kite-ski traverse of the Greenland Ice Cap. At the end of June he will fly directly from Greenland to Mongolia, completing our team of four!! Our next stop: Lake Khovsgol.
