Greenland Polar bear sign, Ittoqqortoormiit, Scoresbysund
Ittoqqortoormiit is one of the most remote settlements in Greenland, where life is still closely connected to the surrounding Arctic landscape. Hunting and fishing remain an important part of everyday life, with traditions passed down through generations. Scattered across the rocky slopes, the colourful houses stand out against the raw landscape.
Photography Tips
Try to find your own photography style in the city and watch out for details instead of just a picture from the viewpoint above the city near the soccer field. A storytelling is complete, when you find details next to the big city photos. It gives you an other impression.
