Crossing Baffin Bay

In the wee hours of this morning we were wakened by an announcement that they were seeing the Aurora from the bridge.  We threw on some clothes and rushed outside.  We saw it but it wasn't very spectacular.  It just looked like a cloud with a bit of a greenish tinge.  But at least we can say we saw it once.  No idea if we will get another opportunity.

We spent today "at sea" crossing Baffin Bay to the relatively new Canadian territory of Nunavut.  We started seeing icebergs


and had a close up view of a couple of Northern Bottlenose Whales.  Even the whale expert was excited since such sightings are rare, especially in this area.
