ICEWORM is a zine by the photographer Olf, documenting an unsupported ski crossing of Greenland from west to east. The central aim of the project was to reach and record the former radar station DYE-2 (66°29°30°N, 46°18°19°W), once part of the Cold War–era DEW Line.

Over a period of 26 days, including two rest days, the expedition covered 601 km across the world’s second-largest ice cap. The journey began at Point 660 and ended in Isortoq, moving through a vast, hostile, and nearly featureless landscape.

Temperatures dropped to –30°C, equipment failures were frequent, and all repairs had to be carried out using the limited tools carried along. Each day demanded adaptability, endurance, and problem-solving under extreme conditions.

The final week pushed physical and mental limits to their extremes: up to 18 hours of skiing per day, minimal sleep, and a record distance of 52.6 km in a single day. In a final push to reach Isortoq in time for the helicopter pickup, the team continued for 23 hours straight, covering 45 km, including prolonged portaging through exceptionally challenging terrain.

The limited edition features a cover with original blueprints from DYE2, with each edition having a unique cover.
