My day started in a rainy Tromsø and it just got better and better. The very first indication this was going to be something out of the ordinary was when we closed in on the east coast of Greenland. The pack ice off the coast was dotted on the blue ocean surface and as we came further inland we saw thousands of nunataks. After landing in Søndre Strømfjord or Kangerlussuaq as it's official greenlandic name is we were competently guided into coaches that took us to the landing site for the Polar Circle Boats that shuttled to the ship. Jumping four time zones is hard, but I couldn't resist logging some deck time as we sailed out of the third longest fjord in the world. The low angle midnight sun shed a beautiful light on the south facing mountains, exagerating the interesting geological pattens in them. The Disco Bay expedition has started!
