Hall Bred­ning – 5th Sep­tem­ber 2019

Posted on 5. September 2019 by Rolf Stange

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.
