Baffin Island: Into Impenetrable Sea Ice
Nearly four full days we spent trying to access several exploration worthy fjords on Baffin Island (some of them the very reason for this trip). With sea ice charts inaccurate because of dense fog, the ship kept hitting an almost impenetrable wall of sea ice with 10/10 coverage (6/10 coverage is maximum operational). Every time, we had to backtrack and try to go around – a lot of ice, a lot of fog, a lot of icebergs.
