Title:	The Southern Camp, Schuchert Dal, looking east across to Jameson Land, NE Greenland

It was only 1-2 kms away from the high waterfall which fell from the Karstryggen limestone plateau; and all of us ascended to the dramatic bottom of the fall. At this camp one evening we were entertained to a lone arctic wolf doing a close circuit and inspection of the camp.
