The ship made its way into the tender port. There were icebergs around, but not quite the
size and number a when I was in Antarctica.
The small city of less than 2000 is picturesque. Here are a few of my first shots around 6:30
am as the ship arrived.

There were icebergs as we made our way into Nanortalik. |
|
I think the rocks posed more of a danger to our ship than the icebergs. |
|
It's interesting to see the shapes of the various icebergs. |
|
It's easy to see things in the shapes of the iceberg. This onre reminds me of a cat. |
|
We got lucky with the weather. It is supposed to be partly cloudy with rain later today. |
|
You can see the fishing boats in this small inlet. Fishing is a big part of the local economy. |
|
It's an attractive city (sixth largest in Greenland) of less than 2000 people. |
|
This iceberg was glistening in the morning sun. Of course, it doesn't really get dark here in the summer. |
It’s a beautiful day, and the harbor is calm so transfer by
tender boat should be okay. There’s not
much to do in this village. The only
tour is a walking tour of the town, and I’m taking that later this
morning. This village encourages tourism
for fishermen, hunters, and hikers.
