| 1. At the beginning of this trip the deck was filled to the brim with mooring equipment and these large top floats reminded me of the old fashioned holiday ornaments my grandmother puts on her tree every year. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 2. We had a beautiful sunset, which had drawn me to the bow of the ship for the first time. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 3. I was fortunate enough to take a small boat ride to explore a very foggy Greenland iceberg off the Blosseville Coast at Cape Tupinier. One of my fondest memories of this entire expedition. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 4. Black-legged kittiwakes dotted this Greenland iceberg and they all seemed to face the same direction, which fascinated me. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 5. It was a foggy day to explore icebergs but it added to the peacefulness of the experience. It reminded me of the feeling I get when I am in the countryside walking on newly fallen snow. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 6. Hundreds and hundreds of black-legged kittiwakes rested on this berg and as we steered closer in a small boat we disturbed the flock. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 7. This iceberg was so large and we were so close that it seemed to envelope us. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 8. I could almost, and really wanted to, reach out and touch this berg. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 9. After exploring a large iceberg we headed back to the Knorr. She reminds me of a ghost ship appearing out of the fog after many years of being lost at sea. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 10. These birds, off the Blosseville Coast were stirred into flight when one of our small boats rounded the icebergs in the distance. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 11. Paul St. Onge is simply duplicating what each and every one of us did when we neared the Greenland coast. We starred in awe. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 12. Entering Siglufjourdur, Iceland the Knorr is utterly alone in the calm waters. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 13. Taking a small exploratory boat ride this small town reflects colorfully in the mirror-like waters. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 14. She’s simply a beautiful ship. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 15. We were never without the Northern Fulmars that clung to us throughout the entire 4-week cruise. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 16. The sunset is reflected off the clouds, which gather over the peaks just a few miles south of Langanes on the East coast of Iceland. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 17. Moss, waterfall, sea stack, sea and a flock of birds. I could play here all day. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 18. This split in the mountainside must have been a wondrous playground for the flocks and flocks of birds that reside in the Faroes. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 19. A split in the earth revealed crystal clear waters in this young cavern. (Rachel Fletcher) |
| 20. I simply wanted to get off the Knorr and go for a leisurely stroll in this beautiful small Faroe village. (Rachel Fletcher) |
