Yesterday we started the new tests to look how much ice and water we can produce in extreme desert conditions. It’s really against my intuition to see the ice growing in that heat and the melting water is dripping of like a small waterfall. Some outcome of the tests is really amazing. Next year we continue the experiments. On behalve of […]

Our documentary film ‘Iceberg Riders’ is just completed. This unique film explains the link between climate and culture and forms the basis for project SunGlacier. Many years of Arctic filming, interviewing and travelling in a 52 mnts, unique documentary. In 2012 the film will be presented on documentary festivals worldwide.  

Together with Naomi Timmer we made an inventory of the first publications. Have a look at: http://publicity-sunglacier.blogspot.com/ If you see a new link, not mentioned on our website, please send us an E-mail.  Next week we start with updating new information about the project.

It was a great experience to present my project before an audience of 1.500 people. From L to R: Ap, Wim Kuijken – Delta Commissioner, Mark Rutte – Prime Minister of Netherlands.

ConditionsThe first line of experiments are successful. Last week we tested how much ice we can produce in extreme hot and dry conditions. Cofely Refrigeration built a climate controlled room that simulates the same conditions as in Aswan, Egypt, on a hot and dry day in summertime, including windforce 3 (Beaufort) and a relative humidity of 22%. IceIn the room we installed a metal cooler that is
