Slushy Moments

On Day Three we walked straight into some slush as we approached the mouth of the North Pangnirtung Fiord. Our guides went ahead and looked in different directions for a way around this dangerous area. We lost a couple of hours with detours (and added a few more grey hairs) but we eventually made it around. At the end of our trek, we found out that another group had failed to get beyond this slushy area and had turned back, after three days, putting an end to their expedition. Nightmare. I was cold, I was nervous, but I knew we were in safe hands.
