Davis Strait
Expansive views of the Arctic waters where icebergs often drift southward during the spring thaw.
Maniitsoq Archipelago
A stunning network of rocky islands and deep channels surrounding the 'Venice of Greenland'.
Hamborgerland
Dramatic coastal cliffs and sharp alpine peaks that rise abruptly from the sea.
Sermitsiaq Mountain
The iconic landmark of Nuuk, featuring a distinctive jagged ridge that is a highlight of the descent.
Nuuk Waterfront
A bird's-eye view of the capital's colorful houses and the modern architecture of the Nuuk Center.
The right side is essential for the descent into Nuuk. Sit toward the front or rear of the Dash 8 aircraft to ensure the landing gear doesn't block your view of the fjords. In the summer, the late afternoon sun provides a golden glow over the coastal islands, making for incredible photography.

A prominent pyramid-shaped peak overlooking Sisimiut, visible immediately after takeoff.
Sukkertoppen Ice Cap
The vast white expanse of the Sukkertoppen Highland ice sheet shimmering on the eastern horizon.
Ikertooq Fjord
One of the widest fjord systems in the region, featuring deep blue waters and glacial carved valleys.
Akia Wilderness
The vast, uninhabited hinterland known for its rugged tundra and reindeer grazing grounds.
Choose the left side for morning flights to see the sun illuminate the mountain faces. This side is better for spotting the edge of the inland ice sheet, though it remains distant. During winter, look here for the best views of the aurora borealis away from the coastal moisture.
