A little after 8h, the stars are lighting our way

9h15 - The sky is already getting brighter and we're still a long way up

Maria

9h45 - Pink sky means the sun is not far from showing up

The sunrise waiting to happen in our back

9h50 - Above the clouds

Very close to 10h - the sky is now orange

Crampons and ice axe are mandatory on this frozen steep slope

Looking pretty small

10h25 - The sun is now high enough to start painting the snow in pink

A few minutes later the sun is finally visible

Pink ice

Now well above the clouds Maria joins me on this ridge from where we can enjoy a bit of warmth from the sun

10h50 - Going around, you really don't want to miss a step here

10h55 - A nice place to enjoy the sunset and record this magical moment

11h40 - We continue going up after a very welcomed tea break. Time doesn't exist anymore. Pure enjoyment

What planet is this?

11h52 - No no, the photo really is correctly orientated

Another top, another world - we now get a 360 view of the peninsula

Walking on the top

12h10 - Warming up near the top

This is what the ice of the glacier looks like when passed through by the sun

12h30 - The "frozen owl"
