Five of us decided for a walk up to the Narsaq glacier

Narsaq river with small water falls.


Narsaq glacier at the foot of Ilimmaasaq. Melt water from the glacier feeds the Narsaq river. There is a marked difference in colour between the (blackish) moraine and the (reddish) scree mainly coming from the supracrustal lavas.


 

Feldspar.

Coin diameter = 28 mm.


Sodalite.

Coin diameter = 28 mm.


We enjoyed our lunch at the edge of the glacier (drinking ice cold melt water - just lovely!).
