@airbus_space is providing some of a crucial to prepare and land an expedition: maps! They are key to assess what we will meet out there. This is even more crucial that no commercial detailed map exists of the ice field that attempt to discover. 📷 @… https://t.co/s6g57tUNh0

@borgeousland steeping over a glacier river. Glaciers are receding faster than anywhere else in Alaska. This is the sum of a combination of effects all interacting in the same sad direction. Glacier disappearance. We still believe that we can interfere a… https://t.co/ybWCycdtlB

The first day of a new expedition is always something very special, between excitement and apprehension. Regardless of how much research, map check you have done prior landing on the glacier you can’t expect to know everything. 📷 @vincentcolliard

Who said it is easier to carry than to pull? Last summer @borgeousland and @vincentcolliard during their last expedition in the #chugach had to regularly carry on their load of 80kg each in order not to damage their equipment. Setting this expedition in… https://t.co/zDA5f4GALl

@borgeousland is standing at the mouth of this huge gap. Glaciers are alive perpetually moving back and forth like a earth pumping blood to its veins. Standing there it is like feeling it breathing a very cold air. 📷 @vincentcolliard

A maze of crevasses. Last summer we had the chance to navigate on alpine style glaciers on the #chugachmountains Holes were wide open and the risk of falling through a hidden bridge limited but we were yet on full alert. Quite a stunning place to witness… https://t.co/pwUyQTkDvG

In the #icelegacyproject #expedition it isn’t all about #skiing. As we cross glacier from one end to the other all means of locomotion have to be considered. In 2015 we wrapped the #Wrangell #saintelias exploration with a kayak ride. 📷 @borgeousland … https://t.co/EhUEUwedVq

The cliffs high up there are blocking the clouds to roll in so we keep our progression under a bright sunshine. It is easier and happier to undertake a long stage in nice conditions than to add a level of adversity to it. 🎿@vincentcolliard 📷 @borgeo… https://t.co/5urg7mkqP4

Intense turquoise for that stunner. @vincentcolliard is checking out the depth and the color of the crack. This is the marvel of these expeditions to tumble upon some natural beauty as you are not expecting it. Get out, look around! We are surrounded by… https://t.co/5nhe8WnA3Q

We hope you had a fun and memorable week end outdoors. Have you found many eggs? 📷@Borgeousland https://t.co/PXmMKN3Xhp

The peaks were looking even bigger than they were as we were sliding slowly on the the flat icy plain. We thought that we will never reach them, remaining so far away. 📷 @borgeousland https://t.co/Y7P9lqTi4H

[Ice Legacy @Ice_Legacy]

We are walking through deserts of ice. The mountains seating in front us are a rather deceiving focus point as our intentions to reach them seems to be an endless quest as they remain so far away. #nevergiveup https://t.co/kckdEApUyE

We truly feel so small when standing next to these crevasses. Nature is incredible. 📷 @borgeousland https://t.co/qPovZ1VMPA

Chugach icefield was very challenging from top to bottom. Summited by alpine style peaks the bottom of the range with very large icefields with no less difficult terrain. Crevasses are as large as trucks and crossing these fields is like going up and dow… https://t.co/1dvJVDtJnM

Alone or with a partner the week end is made to explore, go out and have fun. https://t.co/pxjmJUJ55V

When the conditions are good, there is nothing better than to pull the kites out. A clear advantage to move faster and bring a little fun. 📷 @vincentcolliard https://t.co/O0VDLcWMCb
