Here&#8217;s a piece of that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>We encountered Liev Eriksson South of Greenland &amp; followed the rig until we had the opportunity to take action.<\/p>\n<p>It was like following a great lumbering giant as Liev Eriksson pushed her way through rough iceberg-strewn waters off the tip of Cape Farewell.<\/p>\n<p>We tailed the rig up the West coast of Greenland. It was incongruous to see the spectacular snowy mountain wilderness with this agent of destruction in the foreground. On one calm morning we watched mirage-like inversions of images where mountains &amp; icebergs morphed in Dali-esque forms lit by lurid early light.<\/p>\n<p>This phenomenon is known as an Arctic mirage or &#8220;Fata Morgana&#8221;. The term Fata Morgan comes from King Arthur&#8217;s enchanted sister Morgana, who dwelled in a crystal castle beneath the sea.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Sounds breathtaking an worth
