2013.07.26 - Godthabsfjord

On Friday, July 26th, after conducting 10 interviews in Nuuk - we decided to take the day to see a bit of the natural environment.  At 8:00am we boarded a small boat along with 4 Danes to travel up the fjord to the mouth of the glacier.  There is nothing quite like hearing the first crunch of an iceberg against the hull of a small boat - in water this cold, one has between 5-10 minutes on the clock... Before too long, the anxiety had subsided and we had full faith in our Greenlandic guides.  Upon arriving at the mouth of the glacier (and with limited visibility) the guide stopped the boat and we sat in a field of icebergs, a surreal experience.  On our way back to Nuuk, we stopped by an old settlement.
