Diving Humpback

17 Sep 2019 71 98 861
Walbeobachtung in der Disko-Bucht: die Buckelwale tauchten mit Vorliebe nahe bei oder unter den Eisbergen, offensichtlich gab es dort viel Krill. Whalewatching in Disko Bay: the humpback whales seemed to like feeding near or under icebergs, obviously there was plenty of krill there. whc.unesco.org/en/list/1149 Ich bin wieder da, aber es wird noch länger dauern, bis ich hier wieder auf dem Laufenden bin und ich werde es sicher nicht schaffen, alle eure neuen Fotos anzusehen und zu kommentieren. I'm back but it will take me some weeks to get up to date here again and I won't be able to visit and comment all of your photos.

Die Elphi der Disko Bay

The iceberg on the right resembles Hamburg's Elbphilharmonie;-) Sieht der rechte Eisberg nicht ein bisschen wie die Elphi aus?;-)

Ein kurzes Lebenszeichen... Ich bin momentan sehr beschäftigt und nur selten hier auf Ipernity, nächstes Jahr wird besser! Just a brief sign of life.... I am extremely busy at the moment and rarely manage to be here on Ipernity, I hope to be fully back next year!

Smaller bits of ice from Sermeq Kujalleq glacier often make it into the narrow harbour of Ilulissat.

Sleds and dogs

18 Sep 2019 47 59 370
Greenlandic sled dogs are no pets, this is a working environment! All dogs are chained except for the puppies and sleddog areas are usually signposted. Tourists trying to get too near risk being bitten (you'd better have a rabies shot) and often get foul mouthed comments from locals.
