Um Abstand vom Arbeitsleben zu gewinnen, plane ich stattdessen eine Motorradtour über 10.000 km. Allein.

"Farlig tomandsfærd" er et af den grønlandske histories mest eventyrlige afsnit.

Ekspeditionsleder og polarforsker Ejnar Mikkelsen har beskrevet nogle af de oplevelser, han og hans ekspeditionskammerat Iver Iversen kom ud for, da de ufrivilligt måtte tilbringe tre år i den nordøstgrønlandske ødemark.
