Well, after my trip to Arches in Utah, it was great getting back to Greenland.
Not that I did not enjoy the leisurely temperature and pedestrian hiking terrain, but there is something about getting way back out into nature, way off trails and hike for our local peaks.
It took two attempts to reach the peak of Qingaaq a 1616 meter tall mountain. Mow while that may not sound like much, it is worth remembering that where I live, you hike the mountains from sea level to peak, so it really makes for quite a lot of altitude to cover, not to mention a roughly 40 kilometer day hike in off trail terrain.
Now on the last and successful attempt we found out that hiking season is about to end, from roughly 1000 meters and up, we hiked a lot of fresh snow passages and until winter where we have several meters of it, this terrain is a dangerous in between of loose snow on loose rock. with that said, here is a few images from the trip, the K-7 handled the knocks and the freezing temperatures excellently.

Photographically no more than average, but wanted to share a few images from where the K-7 IMHO belongs and a pleasant hike
thanks for looking.
