Satellite image

This satellite image was taken today. The area is Dove Bugt and Danmarkshavn. In 14 days I will hopefully be able to sail in these fjords on the cruise I am guiding to NE-Greenland...

This is the Daneborg area, HQ of the Sirius sled patrol, no ice...

Finally this is the Southern part of the National park and Mestersvig, no ice...

departure getting closer...

The time of my departure to NE-Greenland is getting closer. On September 6th I will be boarding the expedition vessel MV Fram, which is a cruise-ship belonging to Hurtigruten. I will be on board the vessel for 14 days as a guide, lecturer and a local-man.
The planned route is starting in Longyearbyen, Svalbard and will follow the ice-edge of the pack-ice to Danmarkshavn in NE-Greenland along the coast to Sirius, Daneborg down to Sirius, Ella Ø, Mestersvig, Scoresbysund and fianlly to Isafjørdur, Iceland and the trip ends in Reykjavik, Iceland.

This is a trip I very much look forward too, as I love the ship and the crew and this area of Greenland will always be in my heart as I have spent a very long time there as a child and later on with the Sirius, sledge patrol...

Updates will follow during the trip (if the internet connection works ;0))
