Greenland Glacier at Øjford, Scoresbysund

Sailing through Øfjord, the scale of the landscape becomes especially impressive. Steep mountains rise directly from the water, with glaciers and ice formations scattered throughout the fjord. Moving slowly through such a remote and rugged landscape was a great way to experience the sheer size of Scoresbysund.

Take care while flying over a glacier. The crevasses are sometimes tricky with different high levels. So check always your back side first.

When launching from a moving sailboat, take off into the wind from a clear part of the deck and consider hand-catching when landing. And always keep a close eye on the wind and battery — flying away from a moving boat can quickly eat into your return time, especially in the unpredictable conditions around this fjord system.

Watch out for top down perspective cause glaciers sometimes have really interesting structures.

Use the 3x zoom for a good compression with the sailing boat if you have the chance with your drone.

Scoresbysund is one of the most remote places you can reach in Greenland. There are no roads or infrastructure here. The area is explored by sailing boat, smaller expedition vessel, kayak or multi-day guided kayak trips, with August to roughly mid-September being the best window to experience it. Just around 500 people coming per year.
