Freediving with Icebergs...

Now I tried it! - but im still hungry for more...

Freediving along side an Iceberg in Greenland was one of my dreamdives to do. You always hear about icebergs that it is only the upper 10% that are visible... so now I know how the remaining 90% is like. I found a rather small iceberg and dove under it until I could see its bottom at 7m of depth. Great experience unlike anything I had tried before.

The other days in Greenland went by with kayaking, glacier hiking, fishing for arctic char, spearfishing for cod, flounder and scorpionfish and -ofcourse - visiting my friend, Arne, in Qaqortoq. Arne took me on a weekendtrip with his family to some hot springs in the south. On that trip we saw both seals and whales (minke whale and finwhale). Ofcourse whenever we came close to a seal Arne raised his gun trying to get an aim - no wonder we only saw a few of them... The intensive hunting of seals (and everything else) was also the reason why I was wearing a yellow swimcap on top of my 7mm wetsuit. You dont want to be confused with a seal in this patrt of the world.

The family offered me all kinds of traditional greenlandfood. Some of it was very good, some of it I have to practise a bit on before enjoying. But the trout was very delicious!
