Today began with a stunning sunrise as we sailed into the harbor of Ilulissat. The sun crested the horizon, casting a golden glow over the hundreds of icebergs floating majestically in the inlet of the fjord. The morning was clear and bright, setting the perfect stage for our day’s adventures.
The long hikers embarked on the renowned Yellow Trail, a picturesque route from the city along the shoreline to the Ilulissat Icefjord Centre. They were treated to breathtaking views of colossal icebergs up close, their sheer size and intricate blue hues providing a spectacular backdrop.
In the afternoon, we took to small local boats to navigate among the icebergs, some towering over 100 feet above us. The journey was both thrilling and serene, with the sun shining brightly throughout the day, enhancing the icy splendor around us.
The evening brought a relaxing recap of the day’s experiences over dinner, followed by a fascinating talk from our guide on Greenlandic ice formations. The beauty and grandeur of Ilulissat left a lasting impression on all of us.
