Sermitsiak, what a mountain...

Hi All,

And welcome to a Duploworld update, about what for me has been a major experience, one of the better up here.
Our hike towards the peak of Sermitsiak.
I have been rewriting this post at least 10 times trying to figure out how best to convey the nature of this hike and the impact it had on both me and the other hikers.
I have come to the conclusion that this time around, there are no other way than to let the pictures speak for themselves. 11 hours of hiking is a lot, especialy as we hike our mountains from seal level to peak, there simply is no other way.
I have added a fwe other photos from the trip in the album, but the ones poster here are the ones that to me really spells out what this stunningly beautiful mountain really has to offer.

Spot the hikers


As said, I have a few more in the "Greenlandic Summer Photos 2009" album, but the 3 photos above really tells what it felt like hiking this mountain.
This Friday I am off to Ilulissat for a week and the weekend after I have a Sceduled visit to the peak of the Deer Prong Mountain, he peak in the center of this photo

Thanks for reading and do take care smile

I don't know, my friend, I think inherent in the adventuresome spirit that would explore these places (didn't I just hear you say, "Sermeq Kujalleq or the Icefiord Glacier, is a stunning and dangerous place."?) as you do, takes bravery-- but you are the expert! Will call you 'explorer' smile

Thomas, do take good care of yourself. And enjoy!

Jill
