Greenland Evigheads Glacier Front
The Evigheds Glacier lies at the head of Evighedsfjorden (Eternity Fjord) in remote West Greenland, where glaciers flowing from the Maniitsoq Ice Cap meet a spectacular landscape of steep granite walls and deep blue water. The glacier is part of a largely uninhabited fjord system, with several glaciers descending into or above the fjord and creating an exceptionally wild Arctic setting.
Photography Tips
When at the glacier braking point, you can use it perfectly fine as a leading line throughout the frame. It will be a crazy wide dynamic range, regarding shadows and highlights there. Make sure to underexpose and go for the highlights, otherwise you will loose all the white on the glacier structures.
Travel Information
The glacier is best reached by boat from Maniitsoq, roughly 140 km north of Nuuk. Local boat operators run excursions into Evighedsfjorden, while expedition cruises can also visit the glacier. The access is weather and ice-dependent.
