Polar plunge, Scoresbysund

During lunchtime, the Venture left the Bear Islands archipelago and started her journey back through Scoresbysund towards Greenland's coast. She eventually came to a stop so that the polar plunge could take place.

I decided not to do the plunge because I've still got a cough, so we decided to sit in one of the hot tubs for a bit instead. We could see what was happening from the 9th floor, and I took a photograph or two. It was nice to relax in the hot tub - no pressure at all.

The polar plunge didn't last long. Only 37 guests jumped out of nearly 200 people. It's a pity, but not everyone is fond of the cold, and this group is mainly from Australia! Go figure!Read more
