The cliffs rising behind the beach area and tundra ground were

dolorites and rather dun colored too. The rock looked friable and
unstable and there were many boulders and rocks strewn across

the flatter areas. The cliffs were precipitous at the top with
“alluvial fans” crumbling down into less steep scoria and gravel
piles. The snow clung in patches among the many cracks and

crevices and avalanche chutes from the tops to the bottoms of the
cliff faces.

Another Kayaking Outing
Following our stimulating walk (Magnus made sure it was

probably as long or longer than the actual “long walk”), we went
back to the M/S Endeavour to get ready for kayaking again.
