August 22 Eqip Sermia (Eqi the calving glacier)

 

Eqip Sermia

The first of these for us was Eqi Glacier, one of Greenland’s most active glaciers. It is accessible only by sea so we cruised as close as we could.

Later in the day we cruised along the coast and came to a small clearing with some huts. Our Expedition leader went ashore with small gifts and to ask whether we could land there, It turned out to be a family group and it was apparent we would be an intrusion so we raised the anchor and headed on.

Each evening we were presented with a selection of special cocktails.
