Our Recommendation
9.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most dramatic views of the jagged southern Greenland mountain ranges and deep ice-filled fjords as you fly south toward Nanortalik.

Left Side Highlights
9.2
🏘️

Alluitsup Paa Settlement

A bird's-eye view of the colorful houses clinging to the rocky shoreline immediately after liftoff.

🏔️

Serrit Mountains

Dramatic, sharp granite peaks that dominate the mainland skyline to the east.

🧊

Glacial Icebergs

Dense clusters of icebergs trapped in the narrow channels between the islands and the mainland.

🏞️

Nanortalik Island Approach

The scenic entry over the northern part of the island, showcasing the stark contrast of rock and sea.

Choose the left side for optimal mountain photography. Morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the eastern peaks. Keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff, as the flight duration is very short (approx. 15-20 minutes).

Right Side Highlights
8.4
🌊

Labrador Sea

Uninterrupted views of the vast Arctic waters and the distant horizon.

🏝️

Outer Archipelago

Small, rugged, and uninhabited rocky islets scattered along the coastline.

🐳

Marine Life Spotting

In the summer months, look for humpback or fin whales in the deeper blue waters.

🚁

Coastal Contours

Watch the intricate coastline of South Greenland unfold beneath the helicopter.

The right side is ideal for spotting large icebergs drifting from the north and potential whale sightings. In the late afternoon, this side offers beautiful lighting across the water, though glare can be an issue.
