Special thanks

I would like to thank some entities, who are not partners of the ICE CARE project, but contributed to the success of this expedition:
. ASUS – gave us one Eee PC, that allow us to work at high altitude and extreme conditions, and weighted a little more than 1kg – this was a great advantage, as you can imagine. Plus, its huge autonomy (9h), helped a lot! Kept trying to find plugs beneath the snow and ice…in vain! ;-)
. GARMIN – gave us 2 GPS to measure the whole trip, measure the glacier’s height and to guide us during the bike trip – since highways were not very recommended for a couple of maniacs with backpacks, in bicycles. ;-)
. GRINDELWALD SPORTS – who offered us the trip, even after we had bagged to take another person with us!
. HERB – our Crocodile Dundee of the ice! For all his help and vital information and his charisma that set a wild tone to the expedition!
