End of March and 15 degrees below zero (10 below, on the\nwarmest days).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I have paid for a two and a half hour trip among the\nicebergs. I cannot wait!<\/p>\n\n\n\n All the people who have chosen this trip are taken to the port, where we are all waiting to embark. I start analyzing all the boats around. Most of them hibernate\u2026 <\/p>\n\n\n\n I look quite the same, dressed like this:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although I have come to Greenland with enough warm clothes for the most terrible weather possible, I have decided, last moment, to rent a seal skin costume<\/strong> from the town. You can choose to rent only the trousers or just the coat. And you can also rent boots that protect you at extreme temperatures. For today, I have decided to rent them all, so I am all dressed up from head to toe!<\/p>\n\n\n\n What I remember from sailing on some world’s waters is the feeling of draught, of cold that got to my bones. So, even if it is a sunny day, I prefer the “safe mode”… I even have different types of caps and gloves in my backpack. Mine, from home. Since I don’t have to carry them around, I thought I should bring them all \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n The other people on the boat look at me in a strange way.\nSome did not know about the rented clothes. I have only found out yesterday\nabout this too. Others knew, but they think their clothes are enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is it, we are leaving. We are just a few people, but\nthe boat could not accommodate more of us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are all on deck taking pictures like crazy. Anyway\n“inside”, the space is very small: just a cabin in which, at the time\nof the departure, there was just a man driving the boat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We start along the coast, and we try to recognize some of the buildings of the small town and after that we sail away from the coast slaloming among the icebergs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are like a sorry, poor Titanic, but, at least, we avoid the iceberg…<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ice blocks are larger and larger on our path. We keep away from them because you never know when one may turn upside down because of the changing of its center of gravity and they say this is extremely dangerous (there are some people who have managed to film such turnings upside down of icebergs).<\/p>\n\n\n\n We are getting close to a huge ice wall. My face is iced\ntoo… The sun has disappeared behind the clouds and we can already feel the\ncold, the draught. I start taking out of the backpack the caps and the gloves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I am all right in the seal costume, but any uncovered part of the body freezes instantly. I am lucky I don’t have a runny nose, or I would develop some sort of stalactites just like in Pestera Muierii (Woman’s Cave) \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n Looking at “models” the nature cuts in these huge chunks of ice, I think it would be interesting to have a contest of iceberg sculptures here…<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is colder and colder, but it is nice! Unreal beauty!!! On deck there are just four other people left apart from me. Two Englishmen and a couple from the Philippines. All the others gave up and went into the cabin to warm up and drink some hot tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the Englishmen writes down something in a notebook.\nHe has been doing this ever since we left. He looks around and writes down,\nthen looks around again and once more he writes down things… And he keeps\nrubbing his fingers, not to freeze. I have no idea how on Earth that pen can\nstill write.<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.danamladin.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/ilulissat-greenland_boat-harbor-1.jpg\")
