Touchdown!
After catching up on a bit of sleep in Isafjordur last night, we flew from Iceland to Greenland this afternoon, landing on the ice at around 1600UTC.
Wow, wow, wow. What an amazing place. The last part of the Twin Otter flight to our drop off point was breathtaking; soaring mountains, immense glaciers, a blue, blue sky and blazing sunshine.
It's a bit cooler now, but this afternoon was gobsmackingly warm – we put the tent up with bare hands and rolled-up sleeves! The next thing to hit us was the silence. Lying here in the middle of such absolute stillness, it seems scarcely believable that we were in London a little more than 48 hours ago…
