A thick cover of fog made this a mysterious day in the Greenland Sea, where we were searching for ice. We found it! But fog made it almost impossible for the bridge team to navigate the dense pack ice. Presentations by naturalists and Global Perspective Speaker Andrew Evans were offered in the lounge all day. In the afternoon, the sky cleared up, and the show began! The bridge team did exactly what we all had been waiting for, navigating us through the very dense pack ice. We were blessed with lovely bird and seal sightings. As we heard the ice-strengthened hull pushing through the multiple year ice floes, it really felt like a true Arctic expedition.
