Sometimes the channel is unnervingly close to the rocks. Mahimahi first as they have forward-looking sonar which VS lacks:

Approaching Zacharias Havn anchorage. Note the navigation beacon on the rocks behind the left hand iceberg:

Magnus and visiting son Joakim grabbing a chunk of iceberg for cocktails. Iceberg ice is full of air bubbles which melt with a satisfying little popping sound when immersed in whisky or gin. Icebergs at sea are surrounded by air bubbling up, and water cascading down:
