Philpots Island lies to the east of Devon Island, in Baffin Bay and is home to Northern Fulmars, Glaucous Gulls and Ivory Gulls. These birds are opportunistic scavengers often found on seal corpses. They have been known to follow polar bears and other predators to feed on the remains of their kill.           We zodiac’d to another glacier this morning, negotiating our way through black ice in the water. Gorgeous light made for some lovely photos. Some walrus were spotted sunning on rocks by the spit…so we went across the bay to see the colony. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Before lunch, the ‘polar plunge’…crazy passengers leaping into arctic waters just for fun….the doc was on hand with the defib!!
