The morning of day two was spent at sea to cover to long distance north. We were given lots of information on how to behave as visitors to greenland culture and guidelines for environmental friendly travel in Arctic regions. I also attended a lecture with Dr. Parizza Yazdi who gave us an introduction to flowers and plants of Greenland. We were about to experience some of these in flowering. I'm ready - give me a Lousy Woolworth and an Arctic Poppy and it'll make my day... Spending time on deck on good days is essential. We were, according to one of our guides in an area where the Bowhead Whale occasionaly is sighted. What a treat it would have been to see this creature - the longest living mammal on earth. Well, I could not spot spouts, but the cake was iced with fantastic icebergs and circling northern fulmars as we approached Disco Island and Qeqertasuaq, or Godhavn in danish.
