Nordvestfjorden, Scoresby Sund, Greenland. Day 49. 16th August 2013.

In our last afternoon in Greenland we glided round Nordvestfjorden in zodiacs, admiring the icebergs.

And finally back to the ship, from whence we sailed for Iceland.

.

In Denmark Strait we encountered a huge pod of maybe one hundred humpback whales.  Denmark Straight is between Greenland and Iceland but it is Greenland you can see in the background.

So, as we leave Greenland at the end of our Arctic wilderness expedition, a humpback whales bids us farewell….
