UAK → GOH
Which side of the plane to sit from Narsarsuaq Airport (Narssarssuaq) to Godthaab / Nuuk Airport (Godthaab)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a front-row seat to the immense Greenland Ice Sheet and the dramatic transition from rugged coastal peaks to the vast interior ice cap.
Search flights from UAK to GOH
Greenland Ice Sheet
The endless white horizon of the 'Inland Ice', the second-largest body of ice in the world.
Glacial Tongues
Watch massive rivers of ice flow from the ice cap down into the deep, narrow fjords.
Serrated Peaks
Fly past jagged mountain ranges and nunataks that pierce through the glacial surface.
Nuup Kangerlua
Experience the grand entry into one of the world's longest fjord systems during the descent into Nuuk.
The right side is the star of this route. You will see the dramatic boundary where the land meets the ice sheet. In summer, look for sapphire-blue meltwater lakes forming on top of the ice. Try to book a morning flight for the best lighting on the glaciers, as the afternoon sun can create deep shadows in the fjords.

Iceberg Alley
Spot massive white and electric-blue icebergs floating in the dark waters of the Davis Strait.
Labrador Sea
Uninterrupted views of the cold, deep waters that separate Greenland from the Canadian Arctic.
Coastal Outposts
Glance at the tiny, colorful settlements like Arsuk that cling to the rocky edges of the wilderness.
Sit on the left for the best chance to see the 'Iceberg Alley' where giant bergs drift south. This side is particularly beautiful during sunset flights as the light reflects off the floating ice and the open sea. Polarized sunglasses are highly recommended to reduce the glare from the water.
