It was an early start today as we headed out on the Zodiacs on a cruise through the icebergs. The sun was already shining over the fjord as we began our cruise – although it was freezing cold flying along in the zodiacs. We were completely surrounded by icebergs of all shapes and sizes with shades of white and blue. We even saw one iceberg losing its balance and turning over in the crystal clear waters. We were also lucky enough to spot a couple of seals playfu...

We awake on Day 6 to clear blue skies with a few clouds hanging over the high mountains that surround our current location. After breakfast we head out in the Zodiacs to the rocky coast. The waters are calm and they perfectly mirror the landscape of peaks, valleys, cliffs and icebergs. We land between the spectacular valleys of Narsarsuup Qaava and Akuliarusesuaq. As soon as we land we begin walking on this amazing landscape – trying to avoid the hundreds and ...

After breakfast we took the zodiacs and landed on a sandy beach right in front of the settlement. The village was founded  by Moravian missionaries in 1744 and the origional church is still intact and open to visitors. The area had been previously occupied by Thule inuits and a small Norse community. Today Lichtenau is home to just 5 people – the...

I decided to take the opportunity to buy some postcards and stamps and went outside to a small seating area to write my post...

After spending a quiet night at anchor in Qalerallit Imaa Fjord we set sail towards one of the three glacier branches that dominates the head of the Fjord. The landscape was completely different from the scenery that we had previously witnessed. Lush green farmland and fields were replaced with rocks and ice. Again we were so lucky with the weather as the sun shone over the heavily glaciated area. After breakfast the zodiacs were prepared and we jetted off to t...
