1; Greenland. Ammassalik Fjord, Kulusuk; 38 photos; Midnight Sun's Magic; Kulusuk is a small outlying island in the Ammassalik archipelago of islands on the coast of the North Atlantic. The island is home to Kulusuk, the fourth-largest settlement on the entire eastern coast of Greenland. Northern lights, are commonplace in Greenland, but when you think of this arctic territory, you most likely never imagine a beautiful sunset there. With iceberg debris floating along the surface of the Greenland Sea at the cross-section of Canada’s Labrador Sea and the Norweigan Sea, rays of sunlight can reflect an amazing portrayal of fire on ice in the twilight of the night. From Kulusuk towards Angmagssalik Island and across the Torsuut Tunoq sound, dramatic sunset views are nothing short of magnificent. The distilled natural elements of Greenland’s arctic scenery fuse these breathtaking scenes together for spectacular panoramic captures. The rocky landscape formations with icy conditions and crystal waters reflect Mother Nature’s true natural beauty. Kulusuk is home to many great hunters that provide the village and their families with birds, seals, and all kinds of Greenlandic delicacies. This is a huge part of the Greenlandic culture.
38 photos1; Greenland. Ilulissat Icefjord, Disco Bay; 30 photos; The Iceberg Capital of the World; The Ilulissat Icefjord (Kangia) is one of the most well-known and popular tourist attractions in Greenland. Fed by the Sermeq Kujalleq Glacier, this 61km long fjord is filled with icebergs of all shapes and sizes and was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2004. Sermeq Kujalleq is the fastest flowing glacier in Greenland, which is only surpassed by the great Antarctic and spits out gigantic icebergs that follow the 60 km fjord out into the bay. This fjord is a photographer’s delight, characterized by endless days illuminated by the Midnight Sun. It is a magical place to experience from both land and water, with photographic opportunities in abundance.
30 photos1; Greenland. Scoresby Sund fjord system; 97 photos; Deep fjords and vast glaciers, ridged mountain peaks and huge icebergs, Musk Ox and Polar Bear, unspoiled nature and a deafening silence ...; The Scoresby Sund (Kangertittivaq) in East Greenland is the largest fjord system in the world and the home to one of the most dramatic landscape settings on earth. Icebergs like in Antarctica, mountain peaks like in Patagonia, fjords like in Norway all gathered in one place - the Scoresby Sund. The multi-faceted flora of Greenlandic tundra and large mammals including Seal, Musk Ox, and Polar Bear, are also great highlights of the area. From the vibrant reds and oranges of the glacier-carved terrain to the depthless blues of the icebergs that serenely float among the fjords, the overwhelming beauty of this vast fjord system fascinates any photographer who is lucky to visit this remote and rarely visited part of Greenland. The main structure of Scoresby Sund is about 110 km (approx. 68 mi) long, with a large number of islands and numerous side fjords, of which the longest extends to about 350 km from the coastline inland. Some of the fjords further inland are up to 1,450 m (4,760 ft) deep. The town of Ittoqqortoormiit is the only permanent settlement in this remote area. The name of this town with about 490 native Greenland inhabitants, the Inuit, translates into something like “those who live in big houses”. The sea ice blocks ship access to Ittoqqortoormiit for up to nine months of the year.
