Hall Bred­ning – 5th Sep­tem­ber 2019

It is an ear­ly start into the day. Well, actual­ly it was even ear­lier than that. The nort­hern light. And then, a few hours later, the alarm went. We have a lot of miles ahead of us. Soon we are on our way. And get a stun­ning sun­ri­se abo­ve the rug­ged islands of Bjør­neøer­ne. And a very atmo­s­phe­ric morning mist.

The idea was to make the distance to Itto­q­qor­toor­mi­it (Scores­by­sund vil­la­ge) today to make a visit to this nort­hern one of only two com­mu­nities in east Green­land tomor­row. But after a look at the latest wea­ther fore­cast we deci­ded to set cour­se for the open sea and Ice­land strai­gh­ta­way. It will be good to get into a har­bour the­re befo­re the next storm hits the area of our open sea pas­sa­ge. We do still have a chan­ce to make it in time and we don’t want to miss it. Fin­gers cros­sed.

The pas­sa­ge through Hall Bred­ning, as the lar­ge, wide-open cen­tral part of Scores­by­sund is cal­led, is stun­ning. Mir­ror-flat water, sun, blue sky and ice­bergs. We put the Zodiac on the water once again to cir­cle around an espe­cial­ly beau­ti­ful one. A lovely way to say good­bye to Green­land. For this time.

It is still lovely and cosy. I am curious what the next two days bring. It might not be this calm all the way through.

By the way, my new book is in print and it can now be orde­red 🙂 it is a pho­to book with the tit­le “Nor­we­gens ark­ti­scher Nor­den (3): Die Bären­in­sel und Jan May­en”, with Ger­man text Click here for fur­ther details!
