Greenland Eielson Glacier, Scoresbysund

Eielson Glacier in Scoresbysund is a striking wall of ice surrounded by steep, rugged mountains and the remote landscapes of East Greenland. Its blue ice, deep crevasses, and constantly changing surface reveal the power of the Arctic environment. Reaching the glacier by boat offers a unique perspective on the scale and beauty of this frozen landscape.

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.
