    The water temperature is a sizzling 0.3 deg C. Icebergs float around and pieces of broken glacier ice mixed with it… A great day to go swimming! That is what we did, tied with a rope in case one has a heart attack, one – two – three and jump! The only word that came to my find as I emerged from the water was – F@%#! It felt like someone had squeezed my lungs out – a great experience!!

     You did it, you had the fun of your life & it's definitely most memorable of all trips... that's what counts in life! It's a place I'd go back without hesitation again, ahem, as long as someone else is picking up the bills!!! :-)
