JNS → JJU
Which side of the plane to sit from Narsaq Heliport (Narsaq) to Qaqortoq Heliport (Qaqortoq)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers a front-row seat to the dramatic fjord systems and the towering mountain massifs that characterize the rugged interior of Southern Greenland.

Narsaq Mountain
Immediately after takeoff, the massive peaks of Qaqqarsuaq dominate the view with sheer rock faces and deep valleys.
Tunulliarfik Fjord
Aerial views of the deep turquoise waters where the Norse once sailed to their settlements at Brattahlid.
Glacial Silts
Observe the unique swirling patterns of glacial milk where meltwater rivers meet the salt water of the fjords.
Inland Sheep Farms
Small, remote green patches of grass and isolated farmsteads tucked at the base of the mountains.
Distant Ice Sheet
On clear days, the white horizon of the massive Greenland Ice Sheet is visible deep in the background.
Sit on the left for the best views of the geological formations. Since this is a short helicopter hop, keep your camera ready from the moment the rotors spin. Afternoon flights provide excellent shadows that define the mountain ridges. Look for the contrast between the green tundra and the dark rock.

Iceberg Alley
Watch for massive tabular icebergs drifting out of the Bredefjord and into the open sea south of Narsaq.
Coastal Archipelago
A complex maze of hundreds of small, uninhabited rocky islands and skerries along the coastline.
Ocean Horizons
The vast expanse of the Labrador Sea, where you might spot whale blows in the calm waters during summer.
Colorful Qaqortoq
The approach into Qaqortoq offers a stunning panorama of the town's famous multicolored houses climbing the hills.
The right side is superior for iceberg spotting. In early summer, the 'Storis' (sea ice from East Greenland) often clusters along this side of the flight path. Because helicopters fly at low altitudes, you can see the deep blue underwater bases of the icebergs very clearly from this side.
