WEDNESDAY 19TH - KANGERDLUSSAQ FJORD

Another day at sea. We are being blessed with fantastic sunshine although that doesn't stop the cold creeping in after one has been outside for a while.

 

 

We are now further south on the Greenland side of Baffin Bay than we were when we left from Pond Inlet.

This afternoon we went into Kangerdlussaq Fjord. From the open sea to where we dropped anchor was a distance of 35 nautical miles, travelling along a fjord with 5000 feet mountains on either side. At the top of the mountains of course is the Greenland Ice Cap from which many glaciers emerge.

The tidewater glacier at the head of the fjord was one of the best we have seen and we were able to get as close as we could safely do so in the zodiacs.

 

 

An excellent expedition.
