After our polar bear encounter we continued deeper into the Walker Arm of the Sam Ford Fjord – with the destination being a glacier, that our expedition team had already visited in previous years.

We got to the spot and zodiacs were made ready just after lunch. My zodiac group was the first to go today – and I managed to catch the first zodiac and (for a change) take some pictures without too many of my fellow passengers.

Ashore a nice hike was waiting for us; from the landing point up the massive frontal moraine of a retreating glacier, through the sandy remains of its glacial lake (with the one or other stuck rubber boot) up to the actual glacier remains.

Our geologist – of course – was up front and providing good hints on where to walk and where not, pointing out things, providing explanations and – of course – making sure everyone was well.

In the evening – during cocktail hour – we had our first recap, to review our first shore landings, get more background on commonly asked questions – but also get to see footage and insights not everyone may have had the opportunity to (e.g. local flora, animal tracks, views from vantage points only few had made it to). These recaps really add to the expedition feeling and provide some interesting views back and more.
Lesson of the day: if you are ever offered polar bear liver, better decline that offer – otherwise you are bound to die of an overdose of vitamin A.
