Early this morning, we awoke north of the Arctic Circle with lovely weather as we entered the harbor at Sisimiut. There were many options for a long morning ashore, from an energetic mountain walk to leisurely strolls through town. We all arrived at the outdoor museum grounds for a tasting of traditional Greenlandic foods and had a chance to visit the historic buildings. The houses in town visually, virtually vibrated with their bright colors in the brilliant sunshine.
In the afternoon, a short transit north from town found us alongside a small uninhabited island, perfect for a few hours of sunny exploration. After careful scouting by the expedition team, we were able to free roam along the seashore and over the rocky hills. Some places were covered with a thick, soft carpet of tundra vegetation, and numerous gulls wheeled overhead in the breeze.
