Always rub my hands in glee when I see such bacon in the breakfast buffet! =D
weeweebear:
Saw this notice on a shop's window... at first we thought it was a joke that a rubber ducky had been reported missing but as we read on, we realised it was not and was something used by NASA to measure global warming!

weeweebear:
Outside World Of Greenland... this is Ilulissat main road! Approaching hubby from behind is a man of Inuit origins.
weeweebear:
At Ilulissat Harbour... Greenlanders like their things red! First, Air Greenland, the national flag carrier and now their boats. Nice! =)
weeweebear:
The Royal Arctic Line supply ship, which is used to ferry all imports and exports in and out of Ilulissat, used to come 6 months once in the past due to the numerous icebergs around Ilulissat but now they sail monthly during the non-winter months.

Boarding our tiny whale-watching boat...
weeweebear:
A really nice looking iceberg with a hole in the Disko Bay... however, the foreboding skies spelled "disappointment".
weeweebear:
Close-up of iceberg with a hole in the middle in the Disko Bay... the dark stormy skies kind of complemented its look.
weeweebear:
This iceberg in the Disko Bay reminds me of an island I saw in Matsushima Bay, Japan which is called Niōjima!
weeweebear:
Waiting for the impossible to happen... for a whale to appear in this part of Disko Bay under such weather condition!
weeweebear:
Making ourselves comfortable as it looked to be a long wait...
weeweebear:
Finally!!! A whale had appeared! It was a humpback! *cheers around the boat* Ok it was the one and only whale we saw in this tour but we were happy.
weeweebear:
Humpback whale about to dive!
weeweebear:
Time to ready the camera for photos of the humpback's tail!
weeweebear:
My so-so first attempt at taking the humpback whale's tail
weeweebear:
Dorsal fin of the humpback whale... if you look close enough, you can even spot its long white pectoral fin!
weeweebear:
There! We see a great improvement... A much much better photo of the tail of the humpback whale as it dived! =)
weeweebear:
Humpback whale and icebergs
weeweebear:
Bubbles caused by the humpback whale that was swimming underneath our boat!
weeweebear:
Blowholes of the humpback whale was pretty visible as it surfaced

weeweebear:
Faint mist of expelled water as the humpback whale surfaced... you can see its blowholes and knobbly head pretty clearly...

Unique markings on the humpback's tail

Wavery edges of the humpback's tail
weeweebear:
Hehehe this is what happens when a whale decides to rinse its mouth in the water! If only this is whale's vomit (ambergris)... do you know that is worth its weight in gold? =D
