In the beginning it was only an idea, later on Tim joined, we then had to find sponsors, knowledge and help in order to make this expedition happen. We would like to thank all those who paticipated in bringing us one step from the start.
Behind each logo, each company there are people who worked hard to arrange the right gear for us, not only money was invested here but also time and energy.

Thank you...

A Special thanks to...
Ida Marie Steinsmo from Svalbard Snøscooterutleie. Ida is looking after our gear, kayaks and food in Svalbard weeks before the expedition. She also advised us in many things and was our contact person in Svalbard. Thank you.
Nigel Dennis from Sea Kayaking UK. Nigel's main concern, in each conversation was that we will keep ourselves warm. He didn't just give us two excellent brand new customized kayaks, but was also a valuable resource of information about paddling in arctic conditions. Thank you.
Alf Andreassen From Alfa Fritid is responsible for making the intial contact with half of our sponsors. He also dealt with all the gear logistics. Almost every gear item, including the kayaks were sent to him in Tromsø and he arranged the transfer to Svalbard. Without Alf, we are not sure this trip could have been possible. Thank you.

Our great help, source of information, our weather forecast, our voice to the world... we want to thank Anna Amalie Kamstrup. She is not only our ground support, but also had to hear Alon talking about Svalbard every day in the last year. What have we done without you?
