Re: K20 adventure thread

Day nine continued

We really lucked out on the weather. With 300 days of rain and 21 feet of annual rainfall we somehow scored a fine and still day. There aren't a lot of words to describe what the place is like - the photos look great but being there in person is a whole other experience.

Some interesting facts we heard included it's a fjord rather than a sound (apparently a sound is created by a river and a fjord is created by a glacier), it is massively steep with peaks 5,500 feet going straight down to depths of 900 feet, and the top 30 feet of water is freshwater while the sea water underneath is a few degrees warmer.

I'll let the photos do the rest of the talking.
