The North Greenland Windsled Expedition 2025 has achieved a remarkable milestone: in just five days, the Inuit Windsled team has successfully crossed over 700 kilometers of remote Arctic terrain—from the west coast of Greenland to its eastern edge. This expedition not only puts the Windsled to the test in extreme Arctic conditions but also contributes to important international scientific research.

Now, the team is preparing for the return trip—a much more complex and demanding challenge as they navigate back to their starting point near Upernavik on the west coast.

A Zero-Emission Expedition with a Scientific Mission

The expedition is led by Ramón Larramendi, creator of the Inuit Windsled and a pioneer in sustainable polar travel. He is joined by JJ Simonsen and Antonio Mangia, both experienced explorers. The team collaborates with the National Research Council of Italy (CNR-ISP) and the University of Maine, collecting atmospheric and snow samples during their journey to study changes in the Arctic climate.

This year’s mission is focused on logistics testing, scientific data collection, and identifying a viable route for future expeditions across the lesser-known regions of northern Greenland. It is an exploratory project combining traditional Inuit principles, cutting-edge science, and modern renewable technology.

Stay tuned as this pioneering expedition continues its bold journey across North Greenland.
