On 20th July 2007 Polish mountaineering expedition sets out for Greenland. It is led by famous Polish climbers and explorers David Kaszlikowski and Eliza Kubarska. The main task of expedition is to mark out a new, possibly difficult way in Agdlerussakasit fjord area (for ex. Thumbnail Cliff - vertical walls of the biggest cliff in the world amounting to almost 1,5 km) or in quite "new" virgin regions of south - east Greenland. Company TS2 Satellite Technology is one of the official sponsors.
Expedition sets out into the depths of fjords by boat, and they are left alone for one month of lonely exploration. Except for climbing equipment and provisions the team will be equipped with Iridium satellite phones, and they will be able to inform systematically about expedition course and new mountaineering discoveries. Team will spend a couple of days at the wall , “without contact with ground”, living at a special platform called „portaledge”. Expedition is of explorative and sport character.
Besides marking out a new way the team aims to find hidden, overlooking the fjords, walls for climbing.. Kubarska and Kaszlikowski plan to traverse overland mountainous section between distant fjords of Torssuqaatoq and Tarsemiut. This piece of land is the region full of big walls of 1 km height , considered by mountaineers to be one of the most interesting places in the world. Many of huge walls have never been reached.
During the journey through rock region the explorers will be able to cross over precipitous mountain streams, climb vertical walls and cross glacial crevasses which they meet on their way. Additional obstacle in accomplishment the goal is the company of polar bears, living in that area. Documentation (GPS coordinates) of those regions , can be useful for mountaineers from all over the world.
