Deep Blue Sea

It is amazing how the color of the water can change from one day to another based upon the sky. From blue to green to a deep foreboding black. This day we were greeted with a blue cloudless sky reflecting on a deep blue sea which made for a great day of paddling between Qorneq and Kuummitt in East Greenland.

TIQRIGANIANNIG

I have been trying to find the Greenlandic Inuit words used for the animals I saw on last summers kayak trip to East Greenland.  The word Tiqiganiannig is what I get from Professor Google for the Arctic Fox. If anyone can confirm this I would appreciate it. This Arctic Fox was enjoying the sunlight with a blue sea behind on a wonderful summer day in East Greenland.

I went to Greenland to kayak and view icebergs and came back in awe of the geology. Every mountain peak seems to have veins of minerals and variations in colors that are jaw dropping. Note to self: next time bring a geologist.

Rockbread..that’s why!

Rockbread..that's why!

The sly guy from yesterdays post spent hours circling and eyeing the cook tent and then with a smooth precision strike makes off with a slice of rockbread, dubbed so by our kayaking group as it was an almost indestructible, albeit edible, loaf of bread that we had plenty of on our voyages in greenland. I am sure it was a great addition to this foxes diet as every morsel will help in surviving the upcoming winter.
