Aurora plowing the waves, while under our keel darkens a 1200m depth of cold arctic sea.
Here we're just some 50nm from the polar ice front SE of Greenland,
and the water temperature is down to 2-3º C (36ºF), although it is mid summer.
But we saw no trace of drifting ice during our ride, a scenario commonly encountered just some 2-3 decades back.
