Colorful Nuuk. Nuuk is the capital of Greenland and has today appr. 17.000 inhabitants. The small villages are getting smaller while the towns are getting bigger.  Nuuk is the administrativ town with many job opportunities and therefore are people moving to the capital while the young ones also move to Nuuk to study.  On the picture above is the old part of Nuuk in the front, with the new in the back. There is even a newer part   beneath the mountain far back, which

Nuuk is at its best during the fall in my opinion, fresh air below freezing, and lots of icebergs just outside the city and on its beaches because the winds have shifted, bringing them out of the large fjordsystem right to our doorstep. It's also a photographers dream because sunrise is at a reasonable hour and sunset isn't far behind, giving an amazing day of pink hues. And as soon as the darkness comes the sky will randomly light up in bright shades of green, reminding us we line in GR

Greenland is a beautiful country, and when the colors in the evening come it is indescribable.  The colorful evenings can be orange, red, purple or pink and if it's a clear night during winter, the sky can be filled with colorful northern lights. It is an amazing sight! Especially if you are located in an area with very little or no light from streets or houses.  I remember from my childhood when we used to go out in the evening, dressed in our warmest outfit, laying on the

The biggest industry in Greenland is hunting and fisheries. So many families priorities a boat before getting a car, especially the smaller towns and settlements.  Some places in Greenland we don´t use the supermarket as much as the rest of the world. In the settlements especially the inhabitants catch pretty much everything they need for dinner and only uses the supermarket to buy soap, coffee, cereal, sugar etc. This is the harbor in Aasiaat, most of t

   

Anyone who has ever visited Greenland seems to agree on one thing, the nature is spectacular! I was first fascinated by the natural scene of the Arctic during my studies and it inspired me to purchase my first interchangeble lens camera system. Since then I’ve lost count of how many photos I have captured in Greenland, and only feel certain that I will take many more. The landscapes in Greenland invites you to photograph them and one almost feels naked if the camera is left at home duri

Winter is coming. The temperature is dropping and the lakes and fiords start to freeze. So cold, bright and beautiful. Greenland is 2.650 kilometers long, which is appr. same distance from the south of Norway to the south of Spain, so in North Greenland, they already have the polar night with no sun at all for the next 4 months, and -15 degrees Celsius, while south Greenland just got a bit of snow and has still days with few degrees above 0.  This picture is

The helipad with the most beautiful view!  The helipad in Qeqertarsuaq is very close to the waterfront and has a view of a black beach and icebergs. It is so close to the water that sometimes during stormy days the icebergs are being pushed all the way up on the helipad.   The only way to get this island during summer is by boat or ferry, but from mid-October when the winds are getting stronger it´s not possible to sail, so this is when the helicopter tr
