On Wednesday, we visited "Pang" and Kekerten. We toured the town with the help of local guides and walked the village and the outskirts. We saw where a bridge had recently been washed out by heavy glacial melt. We also saw a weaving guild that had been started 30 years ago and now boasts some of the finest in the world.
In the afternoon, we launched the zodiacs and visited Kekerten Island. Kekerten was a heavily used whaling station during the 1850's and 60's. We walked the boardwalks and saw artifacts including the foundation of three storehouses and large cast-iron pots used for rendering whale oil.
