Which side of the plane to sit from Aasiaat Airport (Aasiaat) to Kangerlussuaq Airport (Sondrestrom)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the staggering Greenland Ice Sheet and the dramatic transition where the ice meets the rugged inland tundra.
Search flights from JEG to SFJ
Greenland Ice Sheet
Massive, sprawling views of the polar ice cap stretching endlessly toward the eastern horizon.
Isunngua Highlands
The beautiful, desolate permafrost landscape that borders the edge of the permanent ice.
Glacial Meltwater Lakes
Stunning turquoise blue pools formed on the surface of the ice during the summer months.
Arfersiorfik Fjord
A view into the deep inland reaches of one of the region's most complex fjord systems.
Sit on the left for the best view of the 'Inland Ice'. In the summer, look for the 'Blue River' meltwater patterns. Morning flights provide the best contrast for seeing crevasses in the ice sheet due to the sun's angle.

Aasiaat Archipelago
The 'Town of a Thousand Islands' reveals its rocky maze immediately after takeoff.
Kangerlussuaq Fjord
One of the longest fjords in the world, visible in its winding glory during the final descent.
Davis Strait
The vast, dark expanse of the sea between Greenland and Canada on the western horizon.
Nagssugtoqidian Orogen
Ancient, twisted geological rock formations and mountain ranges characteristic of West Greenland.
The right side is superior for coastal geography. During winter flights, this side offers the best views of the frozen sea and ice floes. Keep your eyes peeled for muskoxen in the valleys just before landing at Kangerlussuaq.
