Hello Mr. de Quervain! Greetings from your homeland

It's always special when you come across the tracks of great polar pioneers. It makes you imagine what it must have been like to travel without GPS and modern equipment. This was the case when we came across the tracks of the Swiss researcher and explorer Alfred de Quervain. It was on the west coast of Greenland, not far from the Eqi Glacier (80 kilometres north of Ilulissat). From here, de Quervain began his historic Greenland crossing in 1912/13. More than 100 years later, Stefan Glowacz, my team, and I set off on our ‘Coast to Coast’ expedition from this very spot.
