Did you poop your pants and play dead?

I was on a boat, about 10 meters away. It's actually illegal to be closer than 250m but try telling that to a Greenlandic skipper who wants to show you something that even locals have rarely seen.

He sure is a chonky boi.

He's been eating tourists & paying off the boat owner

I feel like the water and ten meters are not a large enough barrier for me, but that is a cool picture

Yeah, it really wasn't. OK the skipper was experienced, but that could have gone sideways very quickly I feel.
