Greenland “Iceberg graveyard”, Scoresbysund

  • Please log in or sign up for free to see the GPS coordinates & weather for this photo spot
Near Røde Ø (Red Island) in Scoresbysund, Greenland, the aptly named “Iceberg Graveyard” is a shallow stretch of water where enormous icebergs become grounded and slowly melt away. The stark white ice, rust-red sandstone cliffs, and calm fjord waters create an otherworldly Arctic landscape.

Photography Tips

For a strong water reflection, get the camera very low, almost at water level, and use a wide-angle lens. Keep the horizon straight and look for calm water to create a clear reflection.

Travel Information
