Nuuk fjord boat trip, Greeland

On the 2nd day in Nuuk, Greenland, after wandering around town in the morning, I went to the jetty by the cruise ship dock for the 3 hour Nuuk Water Taxi fjord adventure. The boat was quite small and i decided to sit outside in the front - cold but it gave a good view. I was really hoping to see whales.

We went across the bay and into a section of fjord with calm water -

We were able to touch this iceberg as we went right up to it -

We then went on to the waterfall and glacier. 

The waterfall wasn't very full at this time of year. The boats took it in turn to go close to the fall. The glacier is up on the right of the waterfall.

Then all the boats got together and there was a strange "dance" by a girl dressed like a "cat".

We continued on and were lucky enough to see a sea eagle aka white-tailed eagle. This is Greenland's largest bird

A couple of days later I saw a stuffed one in the museum at Narsarsuaq -

Apparently polar bears had been seen on one leg of the fjord just a couple of weeks ago. We went on round, and stopped to look at some very scenic mountains. 

We went round in a big circle. Some of the mountains were very scenic. Unfortunately it got cloudy and the clouds came down and it got much colder. Eventually there was light rain. So I went into the cabin for the last bit, which is a shame as I missed getting a good photo of Nuuk prison -

Less than 1 month later. BBC on 4 Sept 2024 had an article "Anti-whaling activist Paul Watson kept in Greenland jail".
