Not so detailed program:

Departure from Reykjavik city airport early May 2011 to Kulusuk Greenland (A detailed itinerary will be available in beginning of year 2011). Boat or Helicopter to Tasilaq (the capital of East Greenland) where the first one or two nights will be spent.  From Tasiilaq the group will be flown by helicopter either to the small village of Isertoq or directly onto the Hahn-glacier in about 900 meters (2700 feets) altitute where the skis will take over for the next 540 km (335 miles) or so.

It takes about 10 - 15 days to climb up to the highest part of the Ice sheet on this route, topping off at 2500 m.s.l. The gradient is gradual and the use of skins make sure that the skis move us forward. From the summit it takes about a week to get to the phantom radar station DEY2, surely one of the most bizarre buildings on the planet used to monitor the Russians during the Cold War. From this strange place it takes 5 - 10 days to get to Terra firma - Hill 660, the landfall on the westerns side of the ice sheet. Thus we plan for the expedition to last from 22 - 32 days in total.
