Aboard a sailboat with an aluminum hull capable of navigating Arctic ice, the crew sailed to southwest Greenland. Lionel Daudet, Enzo Odo, and Siebe Vanhee embarked on a journey to explore this land of discovery, aiming to open new and breathtaking routes on big walls. An adventure between sea and mountains, crew and climbing team.

On August 10, 2011, Lionel Daudet set off on the Dodtour, a circumnavigation of France without motorized transport, following the land border and coastline as closely as possible, from the Alps to the Rhine, from the English Channel to the Atlantic, from the Pyrenees to the French Riviera. On November 15, 2012, he returned to his starting point, the summit of Mont Blanc, after traversing the country on foot, by bicycle, through fields and along beaches, by kayak, and by sailboat, sometimes alone amidst breathtaking landscapes, sometimes accompanied on the outskirts of towns. 3,000 kilometers of mountain ridges, forests, and rivers, and 3,500 kilometers of coastline. A 15-month (465-day) journey to take on a physical challenge, explore, and tell the story of what makes France what it is.

Lionel Daudet and Isabelle Autissier are renewing their collaboration for a combined sailing and mountaineering expedition to the Antarctic Peninsula. The crew consists of three sailors and three mountaineers, whose skills complement each other perfectly. Departing from Ushuaia, their goal is to reach summits that have rarely, if ever, been climbed. Isabelle's boat, "Ada Dos," will serve as their mobile base camp. Ice, wind, and fog are just some of the obstacles that make both sea and land routes difficult, making access to the continent complex and unpredictable. The ascents are technical and require meticulous planning. Their only regret will be not being able to climb Pierre Premier, as the risks involved are simply too great.
