Icy Blue Morning

Early morning in the fjord towards Uummannaq, the ice pilot had his work cut out.
Vessels venturing into Greenlandic coastal waters have to take 2 Danish ice pilots on board who work in 4 hour shifts.
Exceptions are regular cargo ships and ferries with specially licensed crews- and of course the local fishermen who know their area.

Ein ganz großes Dilemma, wie wir es hier auch jeden Tag mitbekommen. Die Menschheit wird's nie lernen, fürchte ich.
Ich musste übrigens dieses Jahr ein Foto meines Gaszählers an meinen Versorger schicken, weil die mir den niedrigen Verbrauch nicht glauben wollten:-)))) Das heißt, die meisten haben wohl trotz aller Sparappelle geheizt wie immer.
