Sail away Sail away

They are beautiful, large, dangerous and incredibly beautiful to look at ....
Sout east of Kuummiut

Orinoco Flow - Enya *NICE QUALITY*

When I saw the large icebergs sail past, I came to think of Enya and "Sail Away"

Today's Iceberg

Near Idaali...

The capelins are here

We sailed all day on the fjord ... IDA has caught many capelins on this little fishing rod ... Every year in May-June months the fish swim in huge numbers to Ammassalik Fjord ... Here they put their eggs in the low water near the coast ... The Greenlandic word: "Ammassat" means capelin ... The Fjord and city has been named "Ammassalik" because of the small fish ...
The fish swim in the shallow water and put their eggs ... The white areas on the bottom are fish eggs...
Fish and eegs...

IDA has caught a capelin ...


Great to fish in the beautiful surroundings.....



Mom caught a funny fish...Good for soupe....





Icebergs from Ammassalik Fjord

This morning I sailed on Ammassalik Fjord ... It was gray weather ... I sailed into the Qinga to look for capelins ... Delicious small fish, which I can simply shovel up in the boat ... Later on the day I sailed out to see, if I could catch a seal ... But I was so impressed by the iceberg, so instead it was a photo safari :-)


Calm...
Always new shapes of icebergs.....

What's up, what's down ...


With stripes ...



Like a flower.....

A snowy,cloudy,sunny and foggy day....

It is snowing heavy clouds lies over Ammassalik Fjord, but it succeeds the sun to shine in a few places ...
Идет снег ... В тяжелые тучи над Фиорд, но она успешно солнце светить в нескольких местах ...
The fog comes rolling.....

Туман приходит прокатки.....

There is still much snow in Kuummiut .....
Существует еще много снега в Kuummiut



It is 9 in the evening .... mist above the fjord .... I can only see the mountain peaks on the other side of the fjord....
В 9 вечера .... туман над Фиорд .... я могу видеть только горные вершины, с другой стороны от Фиорд
