We're anchored in well-protected Qasigiannguit Bay. We share the anchorage with about fifty outboard fishing boats and a bunch of grounded icebergs.

The icebergs move a bit in the wind and current but as they are quite large, they are also quite deep and so run aground before they can reach the shoal water where we're anchored.

Every few hours, a piece breaks off one of the bergs with the sound of a rifle shot. Then a flotilla of smaller ice bits comes floating by the boat.

Last night, Edward snagged one of the bits and we had whisky sours cooled with glacier ice!
