When are you leaving?
Zé Diogo is there already. I’ll join him on the 19th. Nuno Frazão (environmental engineer) and Sandra Sousa (doctor from HPP Saúde) will meet us in Switzerland and we’ll cross the glacier together.
What’s the roadmap?
19th morning: Meeting at UNESCO’s HQ with the Deputy Director of the World Heritage Centre.
19th afternoon: start cycling the 650 km between Paris and Switzerland
20th until whenever: we will be crossing France on our bicycles, sleeping on the floor, doing an average of 130km per day (hopefully)
Around the 24th, 25th or 26th: we will start crossing the Aletsch on foot…it should take us 2 days to do so
We should be back to Portugal on the 30th
How can one follow the expedition?
Having the back-office support of SAPO and TORKE in Portugal, we’ll try to keep the flow of information as updated as possible.
We’ll be uploading fotos, videos, texts and GPS coordinates. This content will be available at several on-line platforms:
. www.icecare.org – official website, with fotos, videos, maps, text, etc.
. http://icecare.blogspot.com – English version of the blog with fotos and videos
. http://icecare.blogs.sapo.pt – Portuguese version of the blog

How can the melting be tracked?
Mainly using technology known to everyone…GPS
Glacier upper and lower limits and altitude will the registered using GPS (by GARMIN). Altitude will also be cross-referenced using met stations (by SILVA).
In the following years the same limits will be measured for comparison.The information will then be shown over satellite images, to make the retreat visible.
