This summer, Richard Darley (KYC) co-skippered a private expedition to one of the more remote places in the Arctic, Scoresby Sound. The Irish Scoresby Sound Expedition involved a team of 6 climbers and sailors who were attempting to scale unclimbed cliff faces and mountain walls in the world’s largest fjord, led by Peter Owens. He will describe the two month adventure which involved sailing the 43ft steel ketch “Danu of Galway” from the Galway coast to Iceland and then Greenland, and back again. As well as climbing, the team took numerous water samples for microplastic analysis, and charted four anchorages. Richard will share stills, video and drone footage of some of the most stunning scenery in Europe, as well as describing the many challenges the team had to face.
