What it all looks like...

I left my camera with Ra and Mim, so it's courtesy of new tourist friend Corinne that I can upload a few shots and show you what it looks like. Of course, the day I jumped on the big boat, the weather dramatically improved...

These glaciers have a front wall around 100m high. As Ra's mum says, you have to stay 300m from a calving glacier, as not only does the ice crash down from above, it also breaks off underwater and rises to the surface, causing waves.


Hanging out with masses of people on shore took awhile to get used to - advantages included cups of tea, provided after we'd taken a gentle stroll. The eyeopener is the orange outfit they make you put on to board the small boats - modelled by the chap on the left.

After a week of excellent creeking in southern Norway, I arrived in the UK to find high water here too. The Thames flooded in July! I must confess that while I do feel anxious for my great aunt, stranded without power or water, mostly I'm excited to be getting out for just one more play session before heading home.
