Our last chance to go out on the Zodiacs . The island had an old settlement ruins going back 500 years and last used in mid 1800's. We could see the shelters built into the ground with rocks and dirt. We could also see where they would store their meat from the animals and weather. There were a few bones lying around, some where animals and others were human. it was very hard to be careful were you walked as not to ruin anything. There was a more modern hut that had been used by Greenlanders in the 2nd world war as a listening post.
We continued on our trek upwards. A good walk and the views were awesome. we could hear sounds of the ice cracking... As we came over a hill we saw a small bit coming away. Terri and Greg saw one iceberg split into two...wish we had seen it! On our way down we came across an icecap....so I went and played on it and slid down it!! Thank goodness for water proof pants...lol
We were supposed to go out again in the afternoon but there was too much ice for the Zodiacs to be able to manage to go around. So a relaxing day was had.
We went into the end of the Fjord to an amazing view of ice everywhere looking like lily pads. It was just amazing. During this time they announced that they were serving soup at the bow of the ship. They also had a group photo here as we were backed up to the glacier. I happened to be in the shower when this was happening and didn't here the announcement so Evan is the only one representing us!!
