Cameron Smith's goal is to make a solo winter 'round-trip' crossing of the Vatnajokull Icecap, Iceland. Traveling on ski, pulling a sledge loaded with food and equipment, he will begin on the West side, ascend to the 1,500m (roughly one-mile)-high ice plateau, cross the plateau to the East side, descend, and then turn around to retrace my steps and return to my starting point, a round-trip journey of roughly 200 miles (c.320km).\n\nExpedition Site\n
