We felt a small bump this morning 🙂 and thought, oh the ship has just gone over the Arctic Circle….ha ha.
And then at 7am, the captain called over the loud speaker that he had sighted a hump back whale and her calf frolicking on the port bow….we all rushed up….what a gorgeous thing to enjoy before breakfast….they were both in a show off mood ….diving, coming back up and rolling over…..and we enjoyed their company for half an hour.
We visited Sisimiut, with a population of 6,000 (northernmost town in Greenland where the port remains free of ice in winter and it’s also the southernmost town in Greenland where it is possible to drive a dogsled in winter and spring!
Sisimiut means ” the inhabitants of fox holes”, founded in 1756 as a trading and mission station.
Fishing is it’s main industry.
We had an Arctic Buffet dinner tonight…..Arctic lamb……yummmm!!
