Now in Narsarsuaq
Sunday 14 August 2011. Our day off in Kangerlussuaq dawned fair, a few broken clouds about but it promised to be a warm one, according to the notice at Reception.

But not as much as the ice fields becoming more and more dense, which we have ...
Addendum
Later this evening. The foehn is becoming stronger and stronger. Supported by the tide it still presses large, growing waves into the bay; waves we would not have considered possible, waves breaking at the shores effervescent. While the water gurgles outside, the wind is pulling our tents angrily, blowing them and making the thin ...
