Greenland View to South Scoresbysund, East Greenland

The view towards the south of Scoresbysund opens into a vast Arctic landscape shaped by steep mountains, deep fjords and glacial erosion. The scale is hard to capture, with the rugged East Greenland coastline stretching far into the distance.

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.

sunset is the best option for good nice light. It is worth it to stay awake and out on deck.

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.
