Qinngorleq Fjord, West Coast Greenland


I’m a little behind on our days so I will start where I left off and try to catch up to today. OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

We left the east coast of Greenland behind and entered Prins Christian Sund. This waterway led us through the southern end of Greenland to reach the west coast. It was ideal because it created a sheltered shortcut to bypass the tumultuous ocean on the southernmost tip of Greenland.  Partway through the passage we deviated, as we so often do, and headed north into Qinngorleq Fjord “the furthest away fjord.” We made our way to the end of the waterway to find an absolutely gorgeous glacier face in front of us.  OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAI find it impossible to capture the sheer size of this landscape on my photographs. Many mountains rise 300 meters (1,000 feet), towering above the crystal-clear mirrored sea with cascading waterfalls down every crevice. The fog often clings to the mountain side adding an eerie drama to the scene. It is quite something to behold. One day I hope to learn to capture this in my photographs, but for now, I sure love trying.  OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERASpeaking of photographs, a few of you would like to learn how to organize your photos. I like the way I learned on board and will be delighted to show you how when I return. All you need is Adobe Bridge. If you do not already own it, get it online for $10 a month. It’s worth it.
