Two Friends and a Polar Bear

A Story of Friendship and Endurance Skiing Unsupported Across the Arctic Greenland Ice Cap

By: Terry Williams, Aaron Linsdau

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

Can two friends ski across Greenland in the Arctic late in life?
Terry Williams and Aaron Linsdau were one of the oldest teams ever to ski across the Greenland Ice Cap unsupported. They trekked over 300 miles of frozen Arctic wastelands using compasses to guide them. Crossing fresh polar bear tracks reminded them that they were not alone.
“Well, you wanted adventure!”
Terry, 68 years old, and Aaron, 49 years old, had their tent nearly buried during one brutal storm. They faced the ultimate challenge of friendship in the harshest environments on Earth. The pair was absolutely reliant on each other for survival. Sub-zero temperatures and gale-force winds pushed their bodies to the limit.
The journal entries are lightly edited to preserve the raw, unfiltered experience of our polar expedition. The language is authentic and true to the moment, offering readers a genuine, immersive journey that reflects the challenges and emotions of life on the ice.
Expedition pictures are included.
