Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

All-British women’s team aims to be first to ski across Greenland ice-cap
 Poster: A snowHead

A team of four British female skiers – dubbed the ‘Arctic Foxes’ - has set off to ski across the Greenland ice-cap. The six-week 1300km challenge, which commenced today, will see the skiers endure temperatures as low as –40C, in the permanent daylight of the ‘midnight sun’. The aim is to ski from the east coast of Greenland to the west coast in 16 days. If achieved this will set a new record, but will require 16 hours’ trekking per day.

The team, aged between 25 and 32, comprises Rachel Pearson, Jenny Pugh, Jo Vellino and Felicity Aston.

This report from The Sun. The Sun will also carry progress reports, and a weekly podcast will be made via the newspaper’s website.

Good luck to the Arctic Foxes!
It's still an impressive achievement to cross Greenland on skis - it makes Nansen's achievement of being the first to do this in 1888 even more remarkable.
The book he published "The First Crossing of Greenland" was widely read throughout Europe, and with its description of ski technique, development and philpsophy did much to encourage the early British and Alpine pioneers of skiing snowHead
