We're here on the Greenland Explorer withQuark Expeditions and we're joined by the Expedition Leader, Alex McNeil. Can you just run us through what maybe 24 hours might be like on the ship here? An average day for me would probably be waking up around 5 O'clock, and heading to the bridge looking at local conditions, ice weather, current, assessing our progress, towards our proposed destination and looking for any opportunities along the way. And the essentially we have a time where we plan to wake the passengers up. Usually anywhere from 5:30 to 7:30 at the latest, sometimes we give people a little bit of a sleep in. Then we go out on a morning excursion for sure, for example, this morning we had a zodiac cruise and a landing, the tide just got out, we had a really good extended hike, and we're going to assess opportunities. Ready for a great day on the water! Ship cruise the entirety of the Fjord, it's about 60 miles Picturesque jagged peaks, glaciers, that will be great regardless, and who knows what opportunities will present for zodiac cruises and other adventures. I forgot one thing, we're gonna get you to jump in the water at some point too. Oh, Because we're back in the ice, and we've got a little bit colder water, so it's time for a polar plunge. I like that, it's a little bit colder water. We want it to be as cold as possible so people can get the true feeling of the Polar Plunge. If you go on a Quark Expedition Ship, make sure to do the polar plunge, whether it's in the Antarctic or it's up here in Greenland, do it! And Vodka is your reward, mine's empty. Another fantastic day here in Greenland, as you can see, the landscape never stops changing. See ya! Another UNESCO World Heritage Site. Wow, behind me is Jacobs Harbour, and this is a harbour filled with ice bergs that come from Jacobs Glacier. And as we were told, all of these ice bergs, eventually make it out of here and travel all the way to Canada. Walking in the Tundra in the Arctic. It's the spirit of adventure, You never know what's going to happen and that's what great about the Arctic. It's just adventure around every corner. Cheers from Greenland. So you know if you need any motivation to go to the Arctic, well you got it now. Come to Greenland, we'll see you there.
