From Galway to Greenland – North of Disko

In June 2013, under the watchful eye of veteran adventurer Jamie Young, a novice crew of men and women sailed from Killary Harbour in County Galway to the wilderness of Greenland, deep inside the Arctic Circle. Once there, a team kayaked 500km along the spectacular Greenland coast while another team attempted to climb unconquered towering rock-walls. Among the crew were film maker Claire Riordan and photographer Daragh Muldowney. Between them they captured the range of experiences and emotions encountered by our adventurers; from the harsh realities of life on the North Atlantic in a cramped 49ft yacht, to the heart-achingly beautiful scenery of a landscape under threat; from the vast isolation of the Arctic Circle to feasting with locals on whale blubber, walrus and polar bear stew!
