Narsaq Peninsula
Incredible views of the sharp, jagged granite peaks and alpine valleys that define this region.
Tunulliarfik Fjord
A panoramic perspective of the main waterway connecting the inland glaciers to the Atlantic coast.
Qaqortoq Approach
The quintessential Greenlandic view of multi-colored houses clustered on the hillside as you land.
Coastal Marine Life
Occasional sightings of fishing vessels and whales in the open waters near the heliport.
This side is essential for capturing the iconic 'colorful house' photos of Qaqortoq during the final descent. Given the low altitude of these flights, keep your camera at a fast shutter speed to capture the rapidly changing terrain features and ice textures.

Qassiarsuk Settlement
Aerial view of the historic Norse settlement of Brattahlíð across the fjord from the airport.
Igaliku Fjord
Deep, narrow fjord systems characterized by steep mountain walls and emerald green waters.
Iceberg Drifts
Concentrations of glacial ice calving from the nearby inland ice sheet drifting toward the sea.
Look out immediately after takeoff to spot the Norse ruins at Qassiarsuk. Afternoon flights provide the best lighting for the eastern fjord walls, though early morning light can create dramatic shadows over the Igaliku region.
