The moment we reached the open sea, the mist descended again.
2nd August - Prins Christian Sund
We steamed through sea mist (scary as
there were so many icebergs around) down to the very tip of Greenland. As we
approached Cape Farewell the mist lifted to the most glorious sunny day -
apparently a rarity!
We then became one of only about three liners to cruise through the Prins
Christian Sund this year. About 56 miles of fjord acting as a shortcut linking
the East to the West of Greenland. It's completely icebound for most of the
year.

| An iceberg dead ahead as we entered Prins Christian Sund |
|
| It got narrower and narrower |
|
|
| Glaciers everywhere you looked |
|
| The Navigator squeezing through |
|
| It almost seemed as if you could step off the boat onto the mountains |
|
| Wonderful scenery and freezing cold but people in the pool! |
