The Norwegian K2005 Expedition gave up due to extreme weather

2005-08-09
The brave Norwegians gave everything, but with 30 knop strong wind on the top, heavy snow fall and 30 degrees below zero, they had no chance to reach the top.

Since the weather forcast for the coming weeks was far away from proming, they had to give up. The money for financing the expedition also ran out.

Anyway they demonstrated good courage and wise actions in everything they did.
