A wonderful sea day!
Finally we hit the first drift
ice. Those brave people staying outside in the now remarkably colder air were
soon rewarded with wildlife. After many pictures of the birds were taken, the
king of the arctic himself showed up. We saw a polar bear on the ice eating a
fresh seal.
As if that was not enough, a much
more seldom sight came in our range: a whole group of killer whales! They were
not for too long around us, but long enough for some worthwhile pictures and
memories.
We experienced both fog and
beautiful sunshine. The sea was calm so it was easy to sit in the lecture halls
and listen to our lecturers telling about polar bears, northern lights,
kayaking and the history of Greenland.
In the evening, during sunset we ended the day with a crew show in the bar.
What a killer whale!
Having a good lunch.
A Finwhale
The northern fulmar likes to glide in the air close to the water.
