We left Clyde River at lunch time and continued deeper into the Clyde Inlet – while enjoying another fabulous lunch (not sure, what we had – but I cannot remember a meal, which has not been fabulous).

In the afternoon our expedition lead had spotted a bay in the inlet, that seemed worth a shore landing; the zodiacs were prepared and off we went.

While waiting on board we could already see little houses near our landing point; this seemed to be some sort of weekend home for some folks up in Clyde River and their base for hunting (indeed – once ashore we saw a freshly slaughtered seal at the beach).

Ashore we could reality-check the content of yesterday’s glaciology lecture … climbing over the remains of a massive end moraine, overlooking the outwash plain (or marainal apron to use the proper terminology) with its braided river … continuing into the valley, climbing over mossy – and thus fluffy – ground. Views into the valley from here were amazing … with glaciers in about every direction. Our geologist was in heaven – and she was not the only one. There was also plenty of plant life, that kept everyone with a floral interest busy … fauna was a miss – though, not to be expected differently given the weekend hunting base at the entry of the bay.
