Field Travel Travel Training - the last one! Day 2

 Me having a bad hair day obviously! Below is part of the massive Sorsdal Glacier.

 The hole that I mad with my ice axe to get water for lunch. The ice won that round as e adze broke off!
 We were ready for bed by about 18:00 but I headed up the hill with no takers for a poo with a view! Looking out over the Ellis Fjord and out to the ocean with the icebergs on the horizon as the sun set. There was a solar pillar tonight which was pretty cool as a pillar of sunlight the width of the setting sun shone towards the cloudy sky like the Batman floodlight (without the bat on it!). Getting back down to the frosty campsite there was not a movement by 19:30 so I readied for bed and watched the golden light move up the western facing side of Tarbuck Crag. Beautiful night with your head out of the bivvy!
