Which side of the plane to sit from Godthaab / Nuuk Airport (Godthaab) to Maniitsoq Airport (Maniitsoq)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a front-row seat to Greenland's dramatic mountain ranges and deep fjord systems. You will see the iconic Sermitsiaq mountain shortly after takeoff and the jagged alpine peaks surrounding Maniitsoq during the approach.

Sermitsiaq Mountain
Nuuk's most famous landmark, featuring a dramatic jagged ridge and steep faces.
Nuuk Fjord System
One of the world's largest fjord systems with winding turquoise channels.
Maniitsoq Ice Cap
High-altitude glaciers and permanent snowfields visible as you head north.
Alpine Wilderness
The 'Greenlandic Alps' north of Nuuk, featuring sharp peaks that remain snow-capped year-round.
Hanging Glaciers
Small, steep glaciers clinging to the mountain sides near the approach to Maniitsoq.
The right side offers the most consistent 'wow' factor. Sit toward the back of the Dash-8 aircraft to ensure the high-wing and engine don't block your view of the mountain peaks. Late afternoon flights are particularly beautiful as the sun hits the western faces of the peaks, creating deep shadows in the fjords.

Davis Strait
Expansive views of the dark, cold waters separating Greenland from Canada.
Iceberg Alleys
Spot massive white icebergs drifting southward along the coastline.
Marine Life Spotting
In summer months, keep an eye out for humpback or fin whales breaching the surface.
Akia Archipelago
The low-lying rocky islands of Nordlandet contrast sharply with the inland mountains.
The left side is superior for spotting marine life and icebergs. For the best photography, choose a morning flight to avoid the direct glare of the afternoon sun over the water. Polarized sunglasses will help you spot icebergs beneath the water's surface.
