Well, 2 days at sea and we finally made it to Greenland. We landed at Ilulissat, a small town on the west coast. It’s claim to fame is ice, icebergs, scenery and fishing! The ice was making a big presence as we geared up and tried to get into town in our zodiacs. The driver had to dodge icebergs that move all the time. It was exciting. Our ship stayed waaay outside the harbor because the capt didnt want to get ice bound. And it happens. In fact, as we tried to go back in the afternoon…the ship was moving out at a slow pace and we had to chase it down!
Once we landed on the docks, we took off on an incredible hike to Disko Bay. Just Google it. It’s where all the iceberg actions are and massive postings on the internet. The rain stopped and it was a great day and the hike was on a long board walk to the sea. After the hike we visited the Ice museum and then found a local lunch place in town. We ordered a Musk Ox burger and it was so so big! And so so good! So much so we are skipping dinner to give our tummy’s a rest! Fishing is the main occupation here and watching these small boats maneuver thru the ice flow is quite entertaining
