At 7 PM we went into a commercial freezer of the company Lagemaat in Woudenberg. Tonight we tested some materials in temperatures of -35° C and with a 20km/h wind. The wind chill was -42° C. Brrrr, very cold. The results of the tested materials were very surprising and changed our choices for what to bring to Greenland. The camera’s of the documentary team can coop with those temperatures for example. Of course there was also press invited. Another time we will sleep in de commercial freezer. Tomorrow we have to go back to work.

Today we have received our brand new Fischer E109 Crown cross country skis. Those skis are from the new range of Fischer and came directly from Austria by DHL to our place. Great service.
