Days 5-6: Cruising from Ilulissat, Greenland to Pond Inlet, Canadian Arctic

From Paul Bryers, August 21-22, 2025

We spent the last 2 days cruising from Ilulissat, Greenland to Pond Inlet in the Canadian Arctic.

We encountered a mix of weather with regards to sun but the whole crossing has been boringly calm. One moment complete fog then we burst out of the fog like a naughty Haggis on a hot date.

A few sea birds accompanied our voyage – notably the Glaucous Gull and Northern Fulmar with his stubby, yellow beak..
