A Greenlander and her dogs 5

April 11.  Going to the huts near the Dead Glacier/Sermeq Avannarleq. Here you can meet another sled in high speed,  very exciting.

In the distance you can see The Devil's hill

In the horizon you can see the inland ice/the ice cap and that it's higher than were me and the dogs are.

The Icefjord to the side. No icebergs at all which is very weird.

Right before I order the dogs to go behind the sled before we go down towards the ice. You can see the tracks of others who have made their dogs go behind the sled.  I will  make them go behind the sled 3 times on our way down to the ice. You can see some of the glacier to the left.

I have the dogs behind the sled here.

The Dead Glacier in the distance

Almost down on the sea ice

On the see ice. Another sled further ahead. We are going op to the right behind him.

One of the huts. See ice again right ahead. The track to the fishermen's fishing spots on the ice. So cool that they go out on the dangerous ice and often spent the night, and drive the route back with a heavy load of fish.  

Proud and happy me and dogs

On our way back

From the top of Akinnaq north. The city in the distance. A lot of sea ice still. The sea ice is not strong enough to use and prevent us from getting ships with food and other things we need. Beautiful sunset at 8 pm. Always a special feeling to be at that place, the dogs behind the sled, seeing the city, hoping you will get down in one piece, hoping not to meet another sled in dangerous places. 

Down on safe ground. 5 hours of travelling. Happy dogs still with energy. Happy and proud me.
