July 22 – Disko Bay and Camp Frieda


We are in Disko Bay the morning and the amount of ice is pretty amazing.  We are scheduled to go ashore at Camp Frieda and the first group made it to shore with no problems.  However, shortly afterwards the ice started drifting rather extensively so the Captain called everyone back on.  These are shots of the icebergs from the ship.

Later in the day they gave all of us who didn’t get to go ashore an opportunity to take a cruise through the ice in a little zodiac.

It was a real treat.  The sun was on the water and the ice was everywhere.  No complaints.

Heading back we had some good views of the Fram with icebergs all around.  Looked sort of isolated and lonely.
