Hola a todos!

Navegando en velero desde Alemania, y realizando una travesía sobre los glaciares y montañas de Groenlandia, conseguimos alcanzar la cumbre del monte Gunnbjorn Fjeld, también llamado Hvitserk en las "sagas" islandesas.

Esta montaña, de 3694 metros de altura, es la más alta de Groenlandia y de todo el territorio ubicado al norte del Círculo Polar Ártico. Lleva el nombre del primer europeo en llegar a Groenlandia, el vikingo Gunnbjorns Ulfsson. Su cumbre es un "nunatak" o gran roca que sobresale por encima de los glaciares que la rodean.

Fue escalada por primera vez el 16 de agosto por una expedición británica, integrada por Augustine Courtauld , Jack Longland , Ebbe Munck, Harold G. Wager, y Lawrence Wager. La larga marcha de aproximación a la montaña la iniciaron justamente en el fiordo Jacobsen. Desde entonces, el Gunnbjorns Fjeld sólo ha sido ascendido en tres o cuatro ocasiones desde el mar. En la zona denominada "Dumpen" encontramos numerosos objetos abandonados por estas expediciones anteriores (carpa, piolets, trineos, etc.)

La travesía sobre el hielo se realizó entre el 2 y el 27 de agosto. La cumbre fue alcanzada el 18 de agosto.

Desde el Fiordo Jacobsen, navegamos hacia Islandia con fuerte marejada y viento del noreste, hasta encontrar refugio en Ísafjordur, en la costa noroeste de Islandia, desde donde escribo este reporte, mientras disfruto de una hamburguesa con papas fritas (recuperando kilos perdidos en el hielo).

Integraron esta expedición: Tim Frank, Pablo Beser y quien escribe, más todo el equipo a bordo del Dagmar Aaen, liderado por Arved Fuchs.

Acá les dejo fotos de esta bella travesía ártica.

La ubicación de Gunnbjorns Fjeld está marcada en el centro de la imagen del mundo (Google Earth) que se muestra en el recuadro a la derecha de este texto.

Un afectuoso saludo!
