Nanortalik Panorama
Enjoy a spectacular aerial view of the colorful wooden houses of Nanortalik and its iconic mountain as the helicopter departs.
Alpine Peaks
Witness the dramatic, jagged granite spires of the South Greenland interior, which are some of the most impressive in the Arctic.
Fjord Networks
Follow the intricate patterns where the sea meets the mainland, carving deep into the rugged, ancient rock formations.
Alluitsup Paa Approach
Experience a low-level view of the village peninsula as the helicopter descends toward one of Greenland's most scenic settlements.
The right side is the prime choice for seeing the iconic Greenlandic mountain landscape. Morning flights provide the best lighting for the granite faces on this side. Since helicopter windows are large, you will have a great view, but sit as far forward as possible to avoid the rotor's vibration in your photos. Keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff as the flight duration is very short.

Iceberg Drift
Spot massive, blue-tinted icebergs that have calved from distant glaciers and are drifting south along the coast.
Whale Spouting
In the summer months, keep a close watch on the sea surface for humpback and minke whales often found in these nutrient-rich waters.
Arctic Skerries
A view of the endless chain of small, rocky islands and submerged reefs that protect the inner coastal waters.
The left side is best for photographers interested in the abstract shapes of ice and the vastness of the Atlantic. Use a polarizing filter if possible to cut through the water's surface reflection to spot marine life and underwater ice.
