Lyudmila Korobeshko from an expedition to Greenland in the peak Gunnbjorn. Yesterday, May 13 we made another ascent. We all climbed the second highest mountain in Greenland - the peak Dome. Ascent was much more difficult than climbing on Gunnbjorn, because we went straight from the base camp to the summit, from 2200 to 3700 m. The weather was surprisingly cold. That is, the tent was minus 20, and actually at the top it was minus 30 or lower. We went around 12 hours on the ascent and descent. However, the descent was fast and pleasant: skiing on virgin snow .
Tomorrow, May 15, it should be a plane for us. If all goes well, May 15, we'll be in Iceland. Goodbye!

Our team sits at the base camp and it looks like another 10 days the weather will not good. Forecast gave a good weather on May 27, may be. Of course, if the monsoon not comes.
We tried to have fun, watch movies etc. Billiards Championship of camp is in full swing. Maybe we'll go down to catch trout. Natasha and Sergei cooked Russian salad and fried potatoes.
In general, this year the weather does not make us happy: on the top constantly there is strong wind 100 km / h and more. Sherpas team have not fixed the ropes and said that until May 25 they could not do it.
The main thing that our mood is GREAT !
