The pretty way to Greenland

Rarely, it is possible to get to South-West Greenland through the Prince Kristiansund, as the weather has to be perfect because the actual navigable channel through the sound is quite narrow & not at all obvious. We were lucky enough to have perfect weather. The Sound cuts through the islands at the Southern tip of Greenland & the traverse avoids possible bad weather around Cape Farewell, so called because of the number of ships sunk there...
