Day 18 - Prince Christian Sound, Greenland

WOW!!!! We woke up this morning to the sight of a huge iceberg outside our window. This is officially an at sea day, however the weather early this morning was good enough for us to begin the transit of Prince Christian Sound on the southern tip of Greenland.


The scenery was absolutely amazing. Greenland is covered in glaciers which apparently are slowly melting. We saw several, including this one which came right down to the water's edge







and this one
which is high up in the
mountains.

















The
evidence of the glaciers melting is
everywhere - it shows up as streams running down the mountain side.












As
we cruised through the Sound, the clouds seemed to fall from the sky and it became very foggy. The result was some very eerie cruising. Enjoy the show!!!
