East Greenland 2.0
25th August 2025
I recently returned from an expedition tour up the East Coast of Greenland, generally north of the region where I visited in 2023. Many of the fjords were unmapped, but zodiacs allowed access to the shallows for land hikes. Some spectacular views under the midnight sun, where the sun never sunk below the horizon. Below is a sampling.
A rainbow appeared over an iceberg around 1 AM during our departure from Scoresby Sound, the world's largest fjord system.
A mother polar bear and cubs rumble and tumble near Scoresby Sound.
A panoramic view of the impressive Greenland skyline approaching sunset.
Late night sunset glow over the icebergs of Scoresby Sound.
A massive waterfall draining the Valley of Flowers near Tasiilaq.
Mountain spires decorate Ikaasakajik fjord a sub fjord of Scoresby Sound.
Apuseerajik Mountain and the Haan Glacier create glassy reflections in Johan Peterson Fjord.
Icebergs contrast with coastal mountains near Tasiilaq.
Glacial statues afloat in the shadows of Kangertigtivatsiaq Fjord.
An alpine melt tarn reflects the mountains surrounding Ryberg Fjord.
A river of ice forms a river winding down the mountains of Sangmilik Fjord.
