Which side of the plane to sit from Sisimiut Airport (Sisimiut) to Aasiaat Airport (Aasiaat)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers an intimate look at Greenland's rugged interior, featuring dramatic mountain peaks, deep glacial fjords, and views toward the massive inland ice sheet.
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.
Iceberg Alley
View massive icebergs drifting south from the Disko Bay area through the Davis Strait.
Davis Strait
The vast, deep blue waters of the Arctic sea stretching toward the Canadian horizon.
Aasiaat Archipelago
A stunning network of thousands of small, rocky islands surrounding the destination airport.
Marine Life
During summer months, keep a close watch on the water surface for whale activity near the coastline.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to experience the Arctic sun reflecting off the sea and ice. It is the best side for photography if you want to capture the contrast between the blue ocean and white icebergs.
