Greenland Glaciers and mountains near Hvalrosbugt, Scoresbysund
Hvalrosbugt is surrounded by dramatic Arctic mountains, steep rock faces and glaciers flowing down towards the Scoresbysund fjord system. A remote landscape where ice, rock and open water come together in a vast, untouched setting.
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.
