Frequently checking for cruise planner sales over the past year I managed to get this excursion for $116 less than what they are charging for it onboard. It pays to check back often. -

Town: Looks like the airport is here. We've arrived to the pier. This will be my balcony view for the next two days. Not bad at all. -

The sun was starting to break through the cloud layer. Even close to town there were whales. A tunnel to somewhere. -

As we moved deeper into the fjord the weather was getting better and better. Some other guests ventured up to the helipad. I didn't realize how much farming took place here. At last the town was in sight. -

A small flotilla of boats on the port side. Accompanied by lots of birds so I suspected they were whale watching boats. A way off in the distance but there were occasional water spouts from whales. It was turning into a nice morning. Yawn... more whales. Frequent waterfalls. -

As we entered the fjord to our destination it started to brighten up. Many communities along the shore on each side. Whales of course and quite a few. -

It was cold and windy on the helipad so I went up to the lounge for a nice hot coffee. Fortunately the lounge coffee machine has been operational at any hour I have visited yet. Rain moving in, time to warm up. -

Another break in the cloud layer. Somewhere just before or around midnight we crossed the Arctic Circle Apple maps has the Arctic circle somewhat lower than the generally accepted latitude. -

I don't know if I can ever top what I witnessed in Antarctica. There were so many whales I stopped taking photos and just watched the show with my eyes. -

I think when they don't send out paper invitations it's easy to forget about it. -

Starlink gateway city has switched back to London. That make sense given our position. Foggy again, following fog protocols with ship whistle every two minutes. -

My attendant was delivering them but with evening only service he was providing that days compass while I was at dinner. I had him stop, YMMV. -
