Before we set out to the sea again we have explored the Arsuk fjord which has a glacier on its end. We discovered that it must have receded considerably since on our maps the glacier front was three miles further out to the sea than on our findings.
At the glacier’s edge we have been confronted with ice-cold katabatic wind falling down from the inland ice and reaching gale force close to the ice. Further down the fjord the wind dropped considerably.Furthermore, we have refuelled in Arsuk, a small village at the entrance of the fjord.
This village has definitely been another example of the remoteness of communities in the North.
