At the beginning of the expedition the pulks were at their heaviest and it was a gradual uphill ski to the top of the icecap. This, together with the katabatic winds that descend off the icecap meant that ski-sailing and greater daily distances were possible during the second half of the expedition.
At the west edge of the icecap the team descended to the bottom of a glacier (to the north of the notorious Jakobshavn Glacier) where the team was picked up by helicopter for onward travel to Ilulissat .
