The weather forecast had predicted a stormy night. The captain therefore had decided to not continue into the Davis Strait – but to stay at a sheltered location in the fjord. This turned out to be the right decision, as a force 12+ storm was sweeping over us during the night.

The storm was slowly abating, however conditions were still not good enough, for us to continue into the Davis Strait – we therefore made the way back to Kangerlussuaq, where some provisions were still waiting for us (the loading had to be discontinued yesterday due to the water becoming to rough).

Meanwhile the expedition team had put together plans for a first landing in the fjord (about an hour south of Kangerlussuaq). The landing itself was fairly unspectacular, but nevertheless a nice opportunity to get off the ship, to get reacquainted with the zodiacs and into nature for a nice afternoon tundra stroll.
