So here's some unedited video from two days ago showing the conditions (and bonus doggy footage). Let's run a little fun prediction contest, when do you think is the first time we'll be able to WALK on the ice? Please answer with date and time. No grand prizes for this one, but I'll send a few Alluring Arctic stickers to whoever gets closest!

I'll take submissions until end of Friday (midnight Greenlandic time)!

In this context walking on ice is defined as: ice is strong enough that we dare and manage to walk on it all the way from Lumi to the shore without falling through (we have drysuits and will probably wear them).

Place your predictions, me and Sohvi will also reveal our own predictions afterwards!

edit: I'm also probably going to ask the same in my public Facebook/Instagram but that will be a separate contest

I looked at the forecast. Looks cold till Sunday. Cold and “sunny”on Friday. I’m guessing Friday 12/20 at 11: 00 AM

Merry Christmas! Guessing on 1st of January. This adventure reminds me of a Swedish couple sailing to the South Pole ca 1985 to freeze their boat Northern Light in the ice for several months, Wish you the best of luck with the ice freezing. Must make life so much easier...or moor difficult with polar bear?

And since I’m American I’m going to say that if I am wrong it’s because the system is rigged.

The Stefan equation tells me... Sunday, December 22 at 11:30 local time. Just walk on the ice then, it'll be fine 🫣

Tim Bledsoe

January 20th at noon, the moment of Trump's inauguration. By the time Spring comes he may have purchased Greenland, whether its for sale or not.

John Siebenthaler

December 27, 3 p.m. - how come Sohvi has to do all the work?

December 25th 10:01 am. Hope you are tethered to one of your lines as you cross. An above water line that is. What an adventure! Loving it from this end.

Although the air tempetatur will be well below zero degree Celsius the sea will not allow freezing of thick enough ice until the 29 Dec at 08:39 morning time. It would have been nice if this would drag out till 6th Jan, but not this year.

Fix Ear

Your wonderful girl already understands Finnish! Wow, clever one.

Steven May

Jan 7, 11:00 am. Thank you for the wonderful videos

Gwen

January 8 at 8 am (do you go walking that early?) lol

Marianne and Andi Dostmann

My guess: It's already frozen today. December 18th, at 7am. I'm very, very excited to see how it develops.

Dec 25, 1000 LT (I guess it will be possible before, but you'll wait until it stops snowing and give the walk to yourselves as a Christmas present...)

Cees Goudsblom

Hi, dec. 25 , 10.08. Good luck & stay safe ( and dry!!!!)

Tom & Jen

I’m not much of a dog person but I really enjoyed watching the dog with you on the walk. I think you were out there to test the ice, btw.

Jim

December 26, 2024 at 11:00am Greenland time. Been enjoying all your adventures.

Lightest person or dog? January 12th 11 am Greenland time... Presumably more danger from bears when the ice is set?

January 25, 2025. And please wear the drysuits with ample under layers. A couple of ice claws/ ice safety picks each wouldn't go amiss either. Mounting an ice rescue when you are the only two people around, sounds like a bit of a chore to me, so please stay out of the water. If you have a doggy safety vest for Nova it probably not come amiss either, because my guess is that she probably is the first to venture out on the ice, when you guys have your backs turned. Ice could look like a loo to her. Ann

Juho Karhu

So me and Sohvi have an advantage here but anyway, Sohvi's guess is 25th of Dec, mine is 26th of Dec! Let's see!

RRG

Dec 28th 0500 local time.

Harri kytomaa

I’ve missed the deadline, but my guess is December 31 at 9am local time.

Mark Barwinski

Missed the deadline too. But what the hell :-) December 31, 2024: 3:00 PM local time
