Search flights from JEG to JAV
Aasiaat Archipelago
A stunning look at the 'Town of a Thousand Islands' immediately after takeoff.
Ilulissat Icefjord
The UNESCO World Heritage site featuring a dense pack of grounded icebergs at the mouth of Kangia.
Ilimanaq Settlement
A clear view of this tiny, historic hunting and fishing village south of the icefjord.
Mainland Tundra
The rugged, rocky coastal terrain of Greenland, dotted with small glacial lakes.
This is the 'money side' for this short hop. As the plane approaches Ilulissat, the right side looks directly into the mouth of the Icefjord. If traveling during the Midnight Sun (June/July), choose a night flight for spectacular golden hues reflecting off the ice.

Massive, cathedral-sized icebergs drifting across the deep blue waters of Disko Bay.
Disko Island Profile
Distant views of the high, flat-topped volcanic mountains of Qeqertarsuaq across the water.
Cetacean Activity
During summer months, look for the wakes of humpback or fin whales in the open bay.
The left side is superior for seeing the sheer scale of Disko Bay. Aim for late afternoon flights when the western sun illuminates the icebergs, creating high-contrast shadows that make the ice formations pop against the water.
