I felt a slight nudge on my right shoulder as I nap through the 2 hour flight from Reykjavik to Kulusuk, it was Tim, one of the French guys in our group of 7 who will be doing the Inuit trail for 12 days.

Trekking Greenland
I must admit I started laughing somewhere around day three when you announced in your blog that [q]the terrain got challenging from there[/q]. Crossing the rivers sounded horrible....far before you got to the challenging terrain. Cold, wind, fog, mist rain and some amazing fjords, bay, glaciers and rainbows......stunning, peaceful and wild. You've seen parts of the country that we didn\'t see. Love follow this trip. I would not have wanted to cross the freezing water. When I was working in Antarctica I did a nude polar swim in 28 degree water. Been there, done that, don\'t want to do the cold water thing again.

what a contrast form Reunion- nature, climate and hike conditions. Interesting to read and the only way i can enjoy scenery of such a place is through pictures. Thanks

I don\'t think I am physically strong and tough enough for this kind of trekking even in my younger years. Camping in fair weather is my forte.
