Nessie goes Disko

As the coastal ferry through Disko Bay gets nearer to Ilulissat, MS Sarfaq Ittuk has to wind her way through ever more icebergs. The ship is strengthened for ice conditions, small chunks of ice she meets head on, larger bergs she avoids. The PiP shows the bow of MS Sarfaq Ittuk with the traces of various "meetings" with obstacles;-)

Wow, da hast Du aber ein ganz besonderes arktisches Tiefseewesen ein gefangen - da im Vordergrund. Hast Du Dir diese Erstsichtung auch eintragen lassen mit Deinem Namen als "Eisis-Gudrunensis"... ??? (◕‿-) (•‿•)

A spectacular sight Gudrun! It does indeed resemble a sea creature!

Thanks a lot, Rosa! It reminded me of a scaly dinosaur but maybe it's the Greenlandic version of Nessie;-)

That title had me flummoxed for a moment or two..............brilliant!

Well spotted and taken Gudrun...............that's a montrous berg! I like the PiP of the ice-breaker too. It's certainly taken a few knocks!

Have a good week :-)

Gudrun ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thanks very much, Keith! There were much bigger bergs around! The ship is a normal ferry, just strengthened for the conditions. It usually runs all year round but can get stuck in winter...

Na ich hoffe, du hast Dank Udos Tipp, dir diesen Fund bestätigen lassen :-)! Dann möchte ich aber noch ein Autogramm von Dir, bis wir vielleicht bald alle wieder zusammen auf Tour gehen können.
Die Natur so zu erleben ist auch noch ein kleiner Traum von mir.
Schönen Abend

Herzlichen Dank, Volker! Das Stüclchen Eis vor dem Bug ist klein... Das war im Hafen von Ilulissat, da schwimmen immer irgendwo Brocken herum, die Leute sind das dort gewöhnt;-)

Nessie resembles a giant armadillo. Do you ever get nervous on trips like this, Gudrun?

3 years ago.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Amelia ^club

Thanks very much, Amelia! I'm not really nervous but I nearly fell out of my berth at night when the ship very abruptly changed course, probably to get round a large iceberg;-)

Klasse Bild.
Wenn man sich die Schrammen so ansieht bekommt man sicher ein etwas mulmiges Titanic-Gefühl bei der Fahrt durch die Eisbrocken.

Gudrun ^club has replied to Leo W ^club

Herzlichen Dank, Leo! Ach, die großen Dellen weiter oben kommen wahrscheinlich von Begegnungen mit der Kaimaier;-) Die kleinen Eisbrocken kann die gut ab, der Rumpf ist doppelt.

Nettes Nessie ... Aus einer Scholle geboren.
Zum PiP: ein starker Bug, der wohl schon viele Hindernisse überwunden hat.
