We got another boat ride! It was a last minute arrangement since we had a day to spare, and so we got to go to a fishing village (Oqaatsut, or Rodebay) some way north from Ilulissat. I did take some iceberg pictures on the way, but it wasn’t so nice to be on the deck…

The morning was sunny, and I didn’t feel that I needed pictures of icebergs in that light so I did a walk around town. Nice walk, but I really don’t get any photography done in urban environments. In the afternoon we walked to the same spot we already visited on Saturday, but this time we…

The weather is definitely looking up now, but it’s very cold. The roads are lethally icy after yesterday’s wet snow. We did a morning excursion to the harbour to shoot old boats, not really very exciting but very enjoyable to be out in that weather. Since the light is so harsh during the day, we…

Last night the fjord was filling up with icebergs again, but this morning it was mostly empty. And the wind has picked up, but at least there’s nothing coming down from the sky which is good. But then after breakfast… it started raining, and we spent the morning indoors looking thru some pictures from the…

Not so lucky with the weather any more. It is snowing, and apparently it will be snowing for two days. And besides the snow, the first thing I noticed after looking out the window is that the icebergs are almost gone! I saw last night how they were drifting to west so I thought the…

Seven hours is all I got. It was a good quality seven hours, but by 5am I just couldn’t sleep any more even if maybe I had needed a bit more. Breakfast is served from 7am, so I got time to go through yesterday’s pictures and write the blog. There’s no free wifi in Greenland…

This is it, I’m finally in Greenland! I flew to Copenhagen last night because I needed to catch an early flight to Kangerlussuaq. CPH turned out to be warm, and the hotel room even warmer. I couldn’t make it cool even after opening two windows and I could barely sleep in that tropic heat (that’s…

I slept really well, after dressing in some extra layers so I kept warm. But still, up at 5.30 to do the last walk before the long drive home. And would you believe… just when I found a great spot, the eastern half the sky was filled with clouds! I had some trouble adjusting my…

(Warning for a lot of pictures!) It was a cold night in the tent. The camping site is on the mainland side of Ramsvikslandet so the wind isn’t so bad there, but the temperature sank to near freezing and I didn’t sleep well. I got up at 5am for my morning hike, it felt really…

In the winter I was planning to take on a project to visit all zoos in Sweden. That was before I decided to move, I will have other things to do now than drive around the country. But I was still interested in the number one zoo on my list, Nordens Ark. It’s very far from…
