Today was our final day in Greenland! In the morning we mapped the seafloor, while the ECRs presented their research to each other. The talks were brilliant – it was great to learn about everything from narwhals, to orcas, to gliders, to oceanography and the history of people in Greenland. As we turned to head back to Iceland, the sea was calm and we had views stretching along the east coast, with large mountains and glaciers flowing into the sea. A pod of humpacks came to say hello we left, followed shortly by 3 fin whales! A very fine way to say goodbye to Greenland. However, the cruise is not over! We will be in transit all day tomorrow, and packing up until we arrive in the early hours of the 20th.
