Gerade noch in der #Arktis, über Grönland nach Labrador, wo sie auch Hebron und Nain besuchte - dazwischen liegt Okak, der alte Wirkungsort von #Miertsching.
Jetzt hat die "Dagmar Aaen" zur Überwinterung in Bridgewater (Nova Scotia) angelegt, wo wir das Schiff gestern besuchten.

I've written an article on the history and future Whitby's soon-to-be-removed whale bone arch! And before you ask, yes I managed to mention William Scoresby Junior (rude not to)

Here is a line from my current read (the American Dame one) which much more accurately reflects my innermost machinations:
"I have got the Arctic lure and will certainly go North again." Sadly it's p94 tho - p157 in this one is a picture so I'm just claiming this one 😁 #PolarExploration #BookSky

C'mon @angryalgonquin.bsky.social, what's yours?! Also - I really enjoyed To the Poles Without A Beard 😁 A quick and easy read, stressfully chaotic at times but very human and engaging. It really was 'Bridget Jones goes to the ends of the earth'! #BookSky #PolarExploration

The farthest south reached on that day did not last as the ultimate record, but it opened the door for the polar races that defined the coming decade.
