Foraging for dinner

A few photos of us gathering ingredients for dinner and the results...

Gathering mussels at low tide
Sea spinach from the beach

Josh's masterpiece: potatoe mash with mussels and sea spinach in a cream sauce. Dinner was served at midnight so Nick caught up on some sleep during the cooking process.

Anchored on the north side of an island 10 km offshore, facing 10 miles of unbroken glacier frontage on the sea, this glacier receding far far inland to the icecap between jagged peaks dominating the skyline.

Anchored opposite an abandoned Eskimo summer camp, rowed to it, to the sandy beach at its foot littered with stranded bergs, stripped down and leaped into the sea. We have arrived! Finding fragments of a polar bear skeleton, long long dead, on a barren stony island. Taking arctic char, eating it raw by a fire by a clear Arctic lake, or cooked - divine. Exploring a US WW2 military airfield & base on a vast open slope ...
