Greenland Glaciers and mountains along the South Coast, Scoresbysund
Driving along the south coast near Sol Glacier offers constantly changing views of rugged mountains, glaciers and wide open valleys. The road follows the coastline, with the surrounding landscape making almost every stretch feel like a viewpoint.
Photography Tips
A long lens like the 100–500mm is incredibly useful in East Greenland because the landscape is so vast and dramatic. It lets you isolate distant glaciers, waterfalls, icebergs and mountain details, compress the layers of the landscape, and capture perspectives you simply can’t reach with a wide-angle lens.
