Hare Fjord, Scoresby Sund, Greenland. Day 47. 14th August 2013.

From Red Island we moved up Rødefjord and around the corner to Harefjord.  Perhaps there was a prehistoric Krishna community here but I think it a touch more likely the fjord was named after the Arctic Hare.

.

There are many places on the eastern Greenland coast with the remains of ancient Inuit habitations.  Here Carol, our resident archaeologist, explains such a site.

.

This I think is the view from the same place but looking in a different direction.

.

Same view, longer lens.

.

Many of us went for a walk and visited the ice river that you can see above.

.

Up close, of course, it’s a lot bigger.

Later that evening, the weather was closing in and we were sailing on, along Øfjord.  All following images are from the ship.
