hiking to the icefjorrd, ilulisat

Had a sleep in today, then did about a 3 hour hike to the Icefjord. Its cold today, about 3 degrees, and cloudy. On my way out of town I did the usual backyard browsing, saw this cute little sledge dog puppy asleep on its sledge!!! And Billy youshould be glad you don't have to feed all these dogs, as each family has about 15 adults!!!

The walk started through a nice valley, really pretty and fragile sub arctic vegetation, so on boardwalk.

The you start to see it, this amazing frozen icefjord.

Its hard to describe how massive it is. Everyone is sort of awed and talks in whispers.

Its really quiet, except for what sounds like cannons going off far away, thats the ice creaking, and occasional really loud thunderclaps, thats ice falling off!

Sat for ages, just looking, its hard to describe how majestic it is. Moosey and I didnt even feel the need to talk....

So I'm just blown away!
On the food front, am now enjoying a Musk Ox burger for dinner...yummy!

Tommorow Ill do a much longer walk along the fjord. They sell tours for everything here but you dont need to buy them, you can just go on your own.
