Cruising Prince Christian Sound

Well after two days at sea since we left Iceland we arrived at the entrance to the Sound about 2 pm and there was much excitement as the Captain advised they had spotted the first iceberg.

Prince Christian Sound separates the mainland of Greenland the other Islands of the Cape Farewell archipelago near the southern most tip of Greenland. It connects the Labrador Sea with the Irminger sea. The decks were full of viewing passengers as we cruised the sound in perfect conditions. In many ways it reminded me of the Beagle Channel in South America or commonly known as Glacier Alley. There were more glaciers there where we only saw 3 today and much smaller, but the icebergs made it something different. All the different shades of white and blue plus the towering snow covered peaks around were mind boggling. It was about 8 pm when we sailed out on our way to Qoqortoq.
