I watched the first episode of the Greenland climbing thing.

So why can't they just like fly a helicopter to the top of that big glacier and then just go down? Does it not work like that?

Also who is holding the camera, they say it's a 6-person expedition but there's someone magically above the climbers getting some sick shots and IDK how they got up there. Unless it's a drone?

Yeah I figured they couldn't do it on the big peak, I was more curious about why they didn't land on the glacier which is about 1600m.

Of course they just want to climb the wall, but maybe it is just cheaper to walk/climb everywhere since they wanted to take core samples along the way.

In arctic ascent I liked how Alex was saying hey we’ve already got so far, it would be a shame to give up now. And Mikey said that’s never a good reason to keep going. Pretty level-headed.

Also the greenlandian(?) guide in arctic ascent seemed cool. Would totally go on a Greenland expedition with that guy.
