As per the weather forecast, the day started with a mystical overcasted sky, which turned blue in the afternoon.

After only 15nm into the Holandsfjorden we arrived in Engen Brygge, at the foot of Engebreen, which forms part of the Svartisen Glacier.

It was time left for clearing the boat, followed by lunch and a short mini-nap before setting off to explore this glacier and its connecting lake. Standing at the glacier‘s tongue felt impressive and irritating at the same time.

Glacier water for a special cup of tea.

Impressive in terms of what mother earth has given to us and a bit irritating with reference to the global warming discussions.

It was a hard hike for me and I am glad that tomorrow is a rain & rest day.

Fair winds…
