Jagged Arctic Peaks
Witness the sharp, snow-dusted mountain ranges that characterize the western edge of the island.
Nordre Isortoq Fjord
A massive, intricate fjord system with turquoise glacial meltwater visible from above.
Inland Ice Sheet
On clear days, the immense white horizon of the Greenland Ice Sheet is visible to the east.
Arctic Tundra
Expansive, treeless landscapes dotted with countless glacial lakes and ancient hiking trails.
The right side is superior for morning flights as the sun illuminates the mountain faces. Look for the distinct U-shaped valleys which are classic examples of glacial erosion. Ensure your camera is ready immediately after takeoff from Sisimiut for the best mountain views.
