They leave Tasiilaq for a 12-day preparatory expedition to familiarize themselves with the polar regions. The trio is reunited again: Jean Troillet, Blutch, Sébastien Devrient. Experience, strength, eyes. They planned to climb on the ice cap to cross the gigantic Helheim Glacier, the world of the dead in Nordic mythology. Their line crosses the 70 km of white stretch on the map, which turns out to be, in fact, 70 km of entanglements of crevasses. Then the line sinks into a mountain massif, little traveled: the Schweizerland and its strangely named glaciers : Pourquoi Pas Glacier, Franche Comté Glacier, Paris, Champs-Elysées - Then on the map, the line stops at the edge of a fjord. Jean Troillet raises his head: "And there, a fisherman comes to pick us up...". After 400 km of adventure, why not? Written by
