Earlier this year, a team of six kayaked ~450km along the west coast of Greenland, scoping out and establishing new routes on the vast granite cliffs of the Arctic Ocean. Jacob Cook and Bronwyn Hodgins told us more about the expedition; how they prepared, the routes they established, and what it's like to live in constant daylight.

Is the 450km correct? Google Earth would suggest 250km might be closer to the mark...

I'm guessing they didn't paddle in a straight line 

Great read, I'm wondering if perhaps there might be a short film of this adventure. The whole kayak/climb thing is a great way of going on a trip. We've only done Gola Island in Ireland which is a much easier proposion than this but it does give you access to some very wild places.

A straight line is circa 215km. 450km seems like there and back again…

Coastlines really are very very wiggly....

I love hearing about these guys exploits, mega inspirational adventures.

I assumed the route shown was the route taken…

Presumably there were lots of wiggles too small to be resolved on the small scale map. 

Looks a fabulous trip anyway.

We GPS tracked our journey, the total distance of the GPS track is ~450km, but yes the total journey if you map it on Google Earth with straight lines appears shorter

There is indeed! It's in this years Brit Rock Film Tour . https://www.britrockfilmtour.com/

Amazing the difference is so great. Thanks for confirming. Enjoyed your recent Enormocast.
