Solo-overwinter in the Arctic

2024: Tamara Klink overwintered alone on the Arctic frozen sea.

Following 2 years of meticulous preparation of the 34-foot sailboat "Sardinha 2" in Lorient (France), Tamara sailed singlehanded to Greenland. She anchored in an uninhabited fjord in Disko Bay and lived in autonomy for 8 months. This was the first registered female solo overwinter in the Arctic.

She dealt with natural and emotional challenges in an extreme context :

* 3 months without sunlight,

* Down to -40ºC temperatures,

* Icebergs and snow as water source,

* +300 hours walking and skiing on the sea ice.

Under northern lights and long polar nights, arctic foxes and ringed seals were her neighbors.
