TUESDAY 18TH - NUUSSUAQ

Pretty quiet day today. We spent most of the day heading south among the spectacular icebergs but we did get off the ship for a walk this afternoon near the community of Nuussuaq, a traditional hunting and fishing village.

 

 

The last part of the trip into the bay where the village is located was very slow because of the ice.

For the first time, we didn't have any interaction with the community. Presumably they don't welcome visitors but their village looks pretty neat from a distance.

Because it was such a warm sunny day getting to a maximum temperature of two degrees this afternoon, they had the polar plunge. The water temperature was also two degrees. Of the 105 passengers, 15 took the plunge.
