  • Mandag den 7. juli 2014 ved middagstid fik en lille flok gæster fra Albatros en unik oplevelse. På vandretur tæt ved udmundingen af Ilulissat Isfjord så vi et kæmpe isbjerg knække over og rulle rundt. Jeg var heldig at fange scenariet på video. Hilsen Peter Søndergaard.

    Translation: On Monday, July 7, 2014 at noon, a small group of guests from Albatros had a unique experience. On a hike near the mouth of the Ilulissat Icefjord, we saw a giant iceberg break over and roll around. I was lucky enough to capture the scenario on video. Regards Peter Søndergaard

    Glaciers also have that “azure” color. My son and I visited Alaska and chartered a helicopter to land directly onto a glacier. There were azure pools everywhere. The water was so clean and clear you could see down 50-100 ft. We dipped our water bottles into one and refreshed ourselves with some of the cleanest water we ever had.
