Sunrise - Evigshed Fjord, Eternity Glacier, Greenland


After a bit of chugging up and down we landed on the fine silt in front of the glacier where the tide was out and there were large pieces of ice that had broken off the front of the glacier. It was during this time that I realised the reason for our early start as the sunlight rapidly moved down the mountain behind us as the sun rose above a peak in front of us that had delayed its arrival.
