The morning was glorious.

We stayed overnight along the ice floe with our bear from last night, and he was obviously hunting. He was still there at sunrise, patiently guarding the breathing holes of the seals.

We left him at peace and wished him good luck and continued on our way to reach 80 degrees north. We arrived right after breakfast. The calm winds and the mirror-glass ocean surface were too tempting to resist and our expedition leader called us out for Zodiac cruises or kayaking among the beautiful ice. Then of course, polar plunge at 80 degrees north!

The afternoon was spent cruising south, back towards Canada for a few more adventures before we cross over back to Greenland.
