Day 5 14.09.2015
This morning we still had quite
some waves and not everyone on board felt like having breakfast yet. As we got
the briefing about the AECO rules we have to follow as responsible visitors, we
were approaching our first stop in Greenland. Ittoqqortoormiit, or Scoresbysund
for those not fluent in Greenlandic, was the name of our destination.
The wind was blowing almost straight against us,
so unfortunately we did not make it in time to the village. Instead, we had
lectures on board and as we got closer the sea became more calm. In the evening
we were rewarded with a fairytale like polar night. Clear skies, no wind, a
tiny village in between snowfields on the rocks and the sky covered in dancing
green northern lights. Magical.
