North Dakota doctor recounts extraordinary Greenland expedition

In this episode of The Backstory, host Sabrina Halvorson talks with Dr. Jon Solberg, a North Dakota emergency physician who served as the expedition physician for a team traveling across Greenland in specially modified trucks. “Adventures are so important to keeping us fresh and excited about life.” - Dr. Jon Solberg Solberg discusses the specialized wilderness and mountain medicine training that prepared him for the journey, how the team responded when a crevasse opened beneath its equipment and what it took for seven people from different backgrounds to live and work together under extreme conditions.
