Our last day on the ice was fun, relaxed and visually exciting as the coastline opened up more with every crest we topped. On the steeper slopes we sat on our sleds and tobogganed down, steering with skis on either side and braking with a rope trace thrown over the bow if needed.

We finally reached the coastal foothills and planted foot on our first rocks in 27 days. It was joy and relief all in one. We climbed up to visit nearby Isortoq hut.

But I am not writing this blog from a comfortable hotel room. Despite informing the helicopter owner months ago of our payload the AS350 Squirrel was too small to accommodate the sleds so Fred, Jade and Paul flew to Tasiilaq with some belongings while Heath and I remain in our tent and hope for a larger helicopter tomorrow. Somewhat anticlimactic but there are worse places to be stranded!
