    May 18, 2025 in the United States ⋅ ☁️ 1 °C

    I woke up at 6.30 so went for an early bird breakfast in the Fredholm restaurant. Very basic offering. Just had a brown roll and mini croissant and berry jam and coffee. Went on deck 7 to see wild life but not much around. otters and some small birds in flocks.
    We went out on a rig to see the glacier at close quarters . All the glaciers in college Fjord are named after American colleges. There was a lot of blue colours in the glacier which is caused by pressure. also black which is from the earth. Lots of icebergs and smaller bits of ice in the fjord. The glacier thunders and bits are falling off but this glacier is growing.
    Went to Diner in Fredholm for a pilopino themed meal I had a prawn bisque, followed by peanut and coconut risotto and a great salted caramel dessert.
    We also went to a reception to meet the captain , senior managers and expedition team . There are 318 guests on board and 162 crew.
