Ejnar Mikklsens Fjord 3308m

The only route so far climbed involves a 1000m ascent up a steep side glacier, involving the negotiation of a large icefall, followed by 500m of a 40-50 degree snow and ice face to reach the exposed summit ridge. Competent and experienced parties only.

• Probably the single most dramatic and impressive peak in the Arctic
• Large isolated alpine peak surrounded by huge glaciers on all sides
• 2000m vertical height gain from basecamp to summit
• Only two previous ascents up to the turn of the Millennium (1970 and 1998)
• Opportunities for long and technical new snow and ice routes on a big peak
• An ascent of Borgetinde 3,338m can also be attempted during the same expedition
• Many other first ascent opportunities on nearby unclimbed summits
• Superb opportunities for exploratory ski- touring
• Ideal time to visit - late April to May
