To give the passengers a once in a lifetime experience, the ship sailed into fast ice in an area called the “Gullet” and we all walked about on it. “Fast” ice means ice which is “fastened” to the land. It is likely about 3 meters thick.

No luxury cruise is complete without champagne for the guests.




Guests were brought to the ice by Zodiak.

We had to be careful as a crack did form in the ice.
