Today
was the first of our two sea days on the crossing to Svalbard. We started the
day off with fog. That was a shame, because we were sailing along the ice edge
and were really hoping to see polar bears. Unfortunately we did not see any,
also when the fog lifted later that day.
So
we were having lectures on board Fram today.
We had both english and german
lectures. One lecture from our two Greenlandic ladies about culture. A lecture
about hunting by one of our Sirius guys Martin and a lecture about ice by one
of our geologists Steffen. This turned out to be a fine way of spending the
day.
After
the seated dinners were over, the trainees onboard Fram had prepared a quiz for
all the passengers.
This was held in the observation lounge and people were
divided into boatgroups. They had to answer around 20 different questions. One
particular hard one was ”How to spell Scoresbysund in Eastgreenlandic?” Now
that the quiz is over i will give you the answer to that one: ITTOQQORTOORMIIT.
