EXPEDITION EQUIPMENT

Gino and the members of the BAARE had very little equipment available to them in the 20’s and 30’s, which made what they accomplished, in the most extreme conditions, even more spectacular. Most men arrived to Greenland in tweed suits, leather brogues and with tents made of canvas. Unlike Gino and his team, Nic and Clarissa had the best equipment available for the 2024 expedition.

VALLON's Heron Glacier sunglasses that Nic, Clarissa and their guide, Bendt wore on their Greenland expedition 90-years on pay homage to the the round silhouette of glacier glasses worn by Gino Watkins and his team back in the early 1930s.
