Traversing Glaciers | Best Job Ever

less than 1m read

·Nov 11, 2024

Most of these glaciers are declining. Someone has to go out there and really show what's happening because climate change is here and now. Me and a guy called Vincon Kard, we're going to cross all the 20 biggest glaciers in the world.

We always try to have some fun on these trips, and we're always competing a little bit. Yeah, yeah, one time we came to this slope and could just ride the sled, just like a horse, going down that slope. It's so fun! That was good fun.

Yeah, start heavy! Come on, Mr. B! I'm the old guy, you know, I'm 52, but Vince is the young guy, he's 28. That's all.

Yeah, that's all. This expedition is really about knowledge, transferring the knowledge to be out there in nature to the younger generation. I did a lot of big solo trips, and you're just out there by yourself, and everything is so extreme.

So I'm really glad that Vince and I decided to do this project together because two of us can achieve a lot more than just one person. Thanks for the tip! Wo, you work so well!
