WHAT HAPPENED ON PAM ISLAND

CO SIĘ WYDARZYŁO NA WYSPIE PAM

An extraordinary romance: Polish alpinists: Eliza Kubarska and David Kaszlikowski, take a lonely journey to the fjords of southern Greenland to reach the world’s highest sea cliff. The vertical wall is reachable only by Kayak across an eerie, storm-ridden sea (the water around is freezing dips to 0 °C – capsizing in this area mean hypothermia and death within minutes) and then they are alone on 1,500 meters of vertical cliff-face – and all for a kiss. Trust, passion and strange, original love in some of the most beautiful landscape you have ever seen.
