The day started with very good weather.

We reached some of the iconic cairns marking this trail and we stopped for taking funny pictures.

While walking, I recognized a very beautiful flower described in the guide book, the Niviarsiaq (translated as “Young Woman”), which is the national flower of Greenland.

The most beautiful part of the trail was on the mountains right after Ikkatook, where big and smooth rocks were surrounded by orange and red vegetation.

From the top of this mountain, we could admire the huge valley that we had to cross, as grey clouds were slowly covering the sky. We couldn’t help but think about Mordor, and we felt like two tiny Hobbits on their long and heroic journey.

In the afternoon, we felt really tired and were relieved when we reached Eqalugaarniarfik. Our hiking boots were completely wet, since we kept them on for crossing the river, but we managed to dry them overnight using our towels.
