Here at ExWeb, when we’re not outdoors, we get our adventure fix by exploring social media and the wider interweb. Sometimes we’re a little too plugged in, and browsing interesting stories turns from minutes into hours. To nourish your own adventure fix, here are some of the best links we’ve discovered this week…

At Mercy of the Wind: Polar guide and snowkiter Carl Avery brings two ambitious clients on a 2,300km kiteski across the Greenland ice sheet.

Rolling the Dice: A group of skiers from England put their limited ski touring experience to the test in Iceland’s remote Hornstrandir Nature Reserve.
Posner Walks: A few years ago, Grammy-nominated artist Mike Posner took time out to walk 4,588km across America. The remarkable story starts with Posner being bitten by a rattlesnake in Colorado.
