Our Recommendation
9.0

Left Side of the Plane

The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic inland fjord systems and the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the Southern Greenland interior as you transition between settlements.

Left Side Highlights
9.0
🏔️

Inland Granite Peaks

Sharp, jagged mountain ridges that define the southern Greenlandic wilderness.

🏞️

Inner Fjord System

Deep, sapphire waters of the fjords snaking through the mountainous terrain.

🏘️

Qaqortoq Panorama

A stunning aerial view of the multicolored houses of Greenland's largest southern town shortly after takeoff.

Choose the left side for better lighting in the morning; the low sun angle highlights the textures of the granite cliffs. Keep your camera ready immediately after lift-off from Qaqortoq for the best town views.

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🧊

Iceberg Alley

Massive, ancient icebergs drifting from the inland glaciers toward the open sea.

🌊

Labrador Sea

The vast, deep blue expanse where the North Atlantic meets the Arctic currents.

🏝️

Coastal Skerries

An intricate network of small, barren rocky islands and outcrops along the shoreline.

The right side is excellent for spotting marine life and large icebergs. During the afternoon, the sun will be on this side, which can create significant glare on the helicopter windows—polarizing filters are highly recommended for photography.
