GPS podał ze jestem na wysokości 6.4 metra npm. Brak kalibracji czy normalny błąd pomiaru? :)
The supposed landing spot of Sir Francis Drake in 1591, when he came ashore for repairs, food and water. He did write of the cliffs reminding of those of Dover.
This morning a herd of female Thule elk graze above the bay. I wonder did the crew include ancestors of these in their provisions as they set sail again.
Taken from the U.S. Coast Guard HH52-A helicopter I was flying. I think I was at about 1500 feet above the water.
Early-summer view of iconic Mount Dundas near Thule Air Base in northwestern Greenland. The bay is still covered by sea ice, but it already shows signs of melting and will disappear later in the season. Saunders Island can be seen in the background.

I visited with my college choir (men and women) to entertain the troops at Christmas. We sang sacred Christmas classics and carols at the midnight service in the chapel. We stayed 3 days, helping to serve Christmas Dinner to the boys, among other activities. It was pitch black (mid-winter), and everyone was so nice to us! They presented each of us with a souvenir charm (low-grade silver, the size of a half dollar)--seen here. We flew up and back on a C-54 troop transport, making stops and singing at bases in Goose Bay, Gander, and Prince Edward Island. We were each issued a duffel bag of "Arctic gear"--a huge parka, mukluks, etc. Such a FOND MEMORY of a wonderful trip!
I know I had a much more joyful time than did the Vances--and I looked better, too!!

Narrowboat 'ULTIMA' leads Butty 'THULE' along the Grand Union Canal towards Braunston, ahead of the weekends Historic Boat Rally.

Historic Thule village site with rock and turf winter houses and sunken entrance, Danmark Ø, Fonfjord, Scoresby Sund, East Greenland. A village consisted of around 4 to 6 subterranean winter houses that could be quite large underground with several rooms and connected to each other with tunnels. Summer dwellings consisted of skin tents supported by whale bone ribs, with the edges held down with stones.

It was the wildest, strangest music you ever heard, full of the sound of birds and the cries of animals and the wind and the rain, and the thunder and the lightning, and the dashing of huge waves against the shores of a great cold ocean that was formed from ice that had made its way slowly down from Ultima Thule. (Robertson Davies)
A Thule bull elk grazing on Point Reyes, with the sun setting on the Pacific behind.
It's almost an Irish flag on its side, well a weathered one, maybe.
Thule village structure made from whale bones. In the arctic there is no wood, so the natives had to adapt!
Weeks after its New Year's Day flyby of the asteroid Ultima Thule, NASA's New Horizons is still providing better and better looks at the most distant object ever visited by a spacecraft.

Force 10 gusts whipped up the sea, blew dust off the icebergs and calved the snow cap of Thule Island
The entrance to this Thule house next to a pond in Mallikjuaq Territorial Park on Mallik Island near Kinngait, Nunavut, Canada, was under a low stone lintel. Animal hides would have covered the whale bone rafters of the roof.
E vedo in aria un’insensata danza
di strani uccelli contro il cielo bigio
cantare un canto in questo mondo grigio,
un canto sordo ormai, senza speranza......
Francesco Guccini
L'ultima Thule attende, dentro un fiordo si spegnerà per sempre ogni passione...

Probably the most remote Chilean military outpost in Rio Mayer, at the end of the Carrettera Austral
Even if it is called "border pass" there is no road on the other side... this is the end. One of the many "ends of the world"
To continue south from here in Chile, you need to go back quite a bit, and cross to Argentina for a 1,000 odd Kms, loop around the "Campo de hielo del sur", tha third largest (after Antartica and Greenland, of course) ice-cap of the world.

This being day 300 of the project, I had plan for a grandiose image. Unfortunately I wasn't feeling well, so this is all you get. A great meal cooked by my wife. It was delicious! We did go for a long walk afterwards.
Steak, sweet potatoes, carrots, mushrooms, asparagus, and kale salad. Oh, yeah, some Layer Cake wine!

By a route obscure and lonely,
Haunted by ill angels only,
Where an Eidolon, named Night,
On a black throne reigns upright,
I have reached these lands but newly
From an ultimate dim Thule —
From a wild weird clime, that lieth, sublime,
Out of Space — out of Time.
--Edgar Allan Poe--

only about 10,900+ ft (3,320+ m) but more spectacular than nearby mountains like Bona (5005m / 16,421'), see www.flickr.com/photos/wanderflechten/13044871923/
