Glacier & bergs



We went up Sermilik Fjord to see the glacier at its head.


                                                                        The ice cap is at top. 




                                                 A lot of bergy bits to push through. 











                                                                              Some detail




























                             

                                        Next two pics: Same berg, different perspective
















           Glacier ice can pick up a lot of rock debris as they squeeze down mountain passes. 











                                                           Laundry day.

Photos from crew

    Connor & Andre have gone crazy with their drones. Here are a few shots from their efforts.                      Sailors in the Arctic like to get a shot of their boat through the arch of a berg.                                                              Shot by Connor.  Shot by Andre. This berg was rocking a lot, we closed in in expectancy, and were rewarded with watching a section of the left wall break off & crumble into the sea, its detritus on the left side.                                                                        Shot by Connor.     Some foraging ...
