Bonus Day

As we were sailing to Nanortalik, pronounced, nan NOR ta lik, Greenland, the captain decided to deviate from the route and took us into a fiord. It was called Christiansund or Christian Sound. The scenery was spectacular and we spent 5 hours traveling at less than 5 knots, looking at glaciers, icebergs and waterfalls.

We did not see any wildlife except for 3 kayakers. We were very surprised and then came upon a village that has 75 residents. What a rugged country this is. The terrain was mountainous and sheer rock. Stunningly beautiful

Glaciers everywhere!

Kayakers…kayak is an Inuit word, as is canoe.

The little village. I don’t know the name. 75 people live there. I’m not sure if they spend the winter here or not!

Global warming. The glacier has lost much of its ice.
