It's hard to get used to the sound of icebergs hitting the boat - even though, approaching the glacier, the sound is constant. Thunk, thunk, thunk against the bow as we move forwards. They say a Greenlandic iceberg sank the Titanic, and it's hard to shake that image from your mind as our little boat progresses slowly through a field of ice.
Have you ever watched a glacier calving? I'm guest blogging over at Where I've Been about a boat trip we took to see the Eqip glacier in Greenland, so please head across if you'd like to read the rest.
In other news, I've started a new blog, with an exclusive focus on the process of marketing books. I'm new to this myself, but I'll update once a week with things I've tried out and how it's worked (or not!) for me. If you're a writer, you might find it interesting to follow along over at Selling Out, or if you'd like to share your experiences, drop me a line about guest posting.

I'll check it out, Rachel.
"Iceberg, straight ahead!" I'd be thinking of that line from the movie the whole time. Gorgeous and so scary at the same time.
Beautiful. I would love to take a trip like that -- unfortunately my family is annoyingly focused on warmth. Interested to check out the new blog.
I love the picture!!! I did read your article, it kind of had me on the edge of my seat. You DO like to live dangerously, don't you?
Wow - that photo is stunning! Got to check out that other site... I'd love to visit Greenland one day.
Yes, I have, but on land, not at sea. There was a sort of rumbling noise..
Fantastic!
I enjoyed reading it girl! I am fascinated by the whole earth transformation and all, the geek in me I guess :)
Looking forward to your book site as well, since I too will be in that market some day soon!
Congrats on the new blog! How exciting!
Oh I can just hear that sound, a little scary I imagine.
You are the busist little person--bookmarketing and glaciers all in one post!!! I've been to Alaska and seen a glacier calve...
Checking out your book selling idea...
I saw that happening on tv once and it is unbelievable!!!
