Ummannaq Fjord, NW Greenland 2004

Gordon Brown leads you through this historic trip in the Ummannaq Fjord area of Northwest Greenland. Re-discovering the roots of our sport and the design basis for many of the sea kayaks we paddle today. Gordon accompanied Duncan Winning, a Churchill Fellow, to this seldom visited area and provided the support and kayaking expertise.

Ice features quite strongly and a soundtrack adds to the ambience.
