Sept 7, 2025: Uummannaq, Greenland(day 5)

I got up about midnight to see if I could see an Aurora and just as I went out, there was a very faint aurora that lasted a few minutes- then nothing else. I also got to see the full moon rise and watch the icebergs go by the mountains lite by moonlight.

We were super happy to find out we could go Kayaking today. Plus we got to go on a ride on the Special Operations Boat(SOB) where we took the boat out into the harbor for a little ride.

We went on the SOB about 10am; it was a quick ride but we did get to see a Fin Whale for a few seconds. And we got to go around an iceberg with a arch.

Tibor made a quick trip into town to photograph their soccer field with a view and got back in time for the kayak excursion.

At noon we went on our kayak trip- again we were happy we weren’t on the first trip of the day- they got choppy water and wind. We had rolling water and a slight breeze.
