Greenland welcomes us in Kangerlussuaq with
brilliant sunshine and some nice clouds in the sky. This weather is typical for Kangerlussuaq as
is lies far inland and has a somehow continental climate. That is the reason it
became the biggest Airport in Greenland.
Our luggage is taken into a container and
transported to the Harbour. The
passengers follow in buses and the Polar circle boats bring them onbord.
The planned schedule is a little bit out of
order as the flight from Copenhagen has some hours delay. The last passengers
arrive around 6.oo pm and soon after being in their cabins they have to
participate in the mandatory safety drill.
Finally they can enjoy their first dinner onbord the Fram and after dinner the splendid scenery of the Söndre Stromfjord with high cliffs build up by old Precambrian rocks cut by basaltic dykes
and nicely polished by glaciers during the Ice Age.
Later we pass by glaciers coming down in their
valleys.
