Snap, Crackle, Pop

The settlement of Sermermiut is a unique archaeological find in Greenland. It's part of the Illulissat Ice Fjord and remarkably beautiful when the sun peaks out. This morning the sun did more than peak - she showered the ice glacier with light so spectacular I had a hard time focusing. The jagged mountainous terrian extended for infinity so much so it was hard to tell if the distant mountains were icebergs or billowy clouds. Snap, crackle and pop sounds of ice expanding pierced the silence and I was never so thankful for getting up at the crack of dawn and trekking for 3 miles to this one solitary spot.

I teetered my way from cliff to cliff exploring every vantage point, angle and dimension I could find. It was slightly slippery and a little chilly but nothing like the rain and wind from yesterday. To tell you the truth, I was too excited to even notice and let mini-me (my Sony camera) bask in the splendor of capturing highlights beyond anything I've ever shot before. Icebergs cast an undeniably spell over a new viewer, a spell that left my eyes burning from staring so long.
