Prins Christian Sund is marginal at the moment but this lovely Sentinal satellite photo shows Tasilaq still well frozen in. To my inexpert eye I doubt that we will be sailing into Tasilaq as scheduled in the early part of this summer's cruise.
Sally and I left Scotland in 2015 on board Shimshal to begin a slow circumnavigation taking in various high latitude destinations. Shimshal is now back in Reykjavik, Iceland having enjoyed a spectacular cruise to North East Greenland. Next year: Greenland again but this time crossing to Tasilaq and then hugging the coast all the way down the East Coast, through Prince Christian Sund and back up north to Aasiaat where we plan to over-winter in 2017/18 at 68N.

Tasilaq still in the deep freeze
The ice in east Greenland continues to thin but it is no where near as clear as last year. In fact it's about half way between what it was in 2015 ( an exceptionally bad year) and 2016 (an exceptionally good year). I guess that makes it average!
