Burgerbukta

Today's landing is at Burgerbukta. It is a bay with two active glaciers. There were huge chunks of ice floating on the bay and strewn around the beach. I was pleased to be able to hike up a steep rocky hill to enjoy the gorgeous views.

Waiting for the Zodiac. Notice the shotgun.

Zodiacs being loaded back onto the ship.  These excursions are a lot of planning, coordination, and hard work.

The day kept getting better. We got Aurora Borealis!!!
