GOH → JHS
Which side of the plane to sit from Godthaab / Nuuk Airport (Godthaab) to Sisimiut Airport (Sisimiut)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a spectacular front-row seat to Greenland's dramatic inland topography, including the massive Sukkertoppen Ice Cap, deep fjord systems, and jagged alpine peaks that remain snow-capped year-round.

Nuup Kangerlua
The massive fjord system behind Nuuk, featuring towering cliffs and deep blue glacial waters.
Sukkertoppen Ice Cap
A breathtaking view of the highland ice cap, a massive dome of ice separate from the main Greenland Ice Sheet.
Eternity Fjord
One of Greenland's most beautiful fjords (Kangerlussuatsiaq), known for its multiple hanging glaciers.
Alpine Summits
Jagged, tooth-like mountain ranges that rise sharply from the sea to elevations over 2,000 meters.
Nasaasaaq Mountain
The iconic pyramid-shaped peak that dominates the skyline as you descend into Sisimiut.
The right side is essential for seeing the glaciers. For the best photography, choose a flight departing in the afternoon when the sun illuminates the eastern fjord walls. In winter, the snow-covered peaks under the 'blue hour' light are exceptionally photogenic. Window seats are vital as these Dash-8 aircraft have high wings that do not obstruct the view downward.

Davis Strait
Vast views of the North Atlantic waters where the Labrador Current carries massive icebergs southward.
Iceberg Alleys
Spot large, sculptural icebergs drifting along the rugged western coastline near Maniitsoq.
Coastal Skerries
An intricate network of thousands of small rocky islands and reefs that protect the mainland from the open sea.
Remote Outposts
Aerial glimpses of isolated settlements like Atammik and Napasoq, accessible only by sea or air.
Sit on the left for evening flights to catch the Arctic sunset reflecting off the Davis Strait. During late spring and early summer, keep a close watch on the water surface for whale activity, particularly near the mouths of the fjords.
