Borge Ousland and Vincent Colliard to Cross the Alaskan St. Elias Ice Field Unsupported
Norwegian Polar Explorer Borge Ousland and French Adventurer Vincent Colliard are currently attempting the unsupported crossing of the St. Elias Ice Field. They started their expedition on the 21st of April and are currently on the ice for their third glacier crossing - after the successful Main Spitsbergen and Stikine Glacier crossings - of the Alpina & Ice Legacy Project, a long-term expedition project to become the first men to cross the 20 largest glaciers on earth. The aim is to raise public awareness about the importance for mankind of preserving the ancestral ice, and to collect data for the scientific community.
Both adventurers will wear the Alpina Horological Smartwatch to measure their activity parameters and sleep during the crossing.
Alongside Alpina, Ice Legacy is also partnering with National Geographic. While on the ice, Børge Ousland and Vincent Colliard will document their journey from the very beginning of the journey all the way to its end.
Thanks.
