What an amazing town in Northeast Greenland. My heart resides there: Ittoqqortoormiit. I took this in 2022 when I had the honor of spending two months in this tiny town of 350 people in the largest fjord system on earth. Scoresbysund is calling my name when I see this large iceberg was stuck in the sea ice. She was named Lulu who stayed with us and served as a great navigation tool. Lulu was the subject of many photos and drone work. The first iceberg I have ever walked on and touched. I’ve never been the same since that trip. I was deeply moved and I knew I had to make Greenland part of my career from that point forward.

I will be a fixer for YouTube channels here next year and taking some adventurous travelers here as well. It’s not for the faint of heart since it is a subsistence living culture in polar bear country but the views are spectacular. You can even see bits of a mirage in this image.

It is not that complicated to access on Norlandair via Iceland RKV domestic airport followed by a helicopter on Air Greenland and then a snowmobile or ATV to the guest house. Piece of cake. Totally worth it though especially when you experience the way of life, the nature, and the intimate relationship between humans, wildlife, land, sea, and ice but especially sea ice. The sea ice is what’s disappearing at alarming levels and destabilizes every facet of life here.

Experiencing this in person gives you a visceral reaction to what is happening here and in other at risk communities all over. It makes climate change much more personal. That’s what we are about at Icebergchick Adventures. I help clients that are solo or group travelers looking for something different and unique or fixing for creators and video production teams with on the ground logistics in every corner of the country. We can do just about anything provided it’s possible, legal, and ethical. We only use local vendors and operators that live and work in the community. They’re all Greenland owned businesses because responsible tourism is vital for the future of Greenland. Visit Greenland with us in 2025!

Big splurge but aurora viewing cabins at the last minute coupled with understanding the aurora forecasting data from NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center can produce magical results. We have them in Greenland thanks to Qeqertarsuaq Tours and Hotel Arctic. I took this image many years ago at Borealis Basecamp in late February in Chatanika, Alaska. Exciting times to be visiting the Arctic. Best viewing time is late September until late March in northern Greenland but the popular season is probably February until first week of April for Aurora viewing specifically. My favorite spots are Uummannaq, Qeqertarsuaq, Ilulissat, Tasiilaq and Ittoqqortoormiit.

The ice is great in other regions of the Arctic as well. This is in Iceland and you can see people for scale. We often have to do stopovers in Iceland or transit there to flights going to certain parts of Greenland like Ittoqqortoormiit.

Trippy but real. Life on the edge of the world’s largest fjord system has some visual perks. More samples of the Fata Morgana mirage I saw in Ittoqqortoormiit, Greenland back in April 2022. Looking forward to taking folks here in 2025.

There is no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes according to my friends in Greenland. “Bad”weather and dark skies make for some of the best and dramatic photography of nature’s sculptures: icebergs. Some of my favorites from March 2023 are shown here. I go to Greenland at least once a year and photograph icebergs and indigenous life. I now do speaking engagements on cruise ships to the Arctic as a Greenland expert.

Icebergs speak in Greenland. The obvious connection is climate change and the warming planet that many folks are vocal on social media and passionate so I don’t need to reiterate it. I don’t share that passion. My passion is for the people living with the climate change right now and protecting their traditions and life ways. What affects them today will affect us tomorrow. I’m working on projects to deepen the bonds between Arctic Indigenous Peoples that are presently separated by colonial borders.

More to come but I hope some of you can appreciate the raw beauty of the ice at the end of the world. It never gets old even after over a dozen trips to the Ilulissat Icefiord and counting.

There is one town in Greenland. Where you’re most likely to encounter a polar bear. It’s in the northeast in Scoresbysund called Ittoqqortoormiit. I am going to start taking small groups there every year from 2025 in the winter. This bear was part of a film project with RS-Film for ArtE TV that aired in 2022 about the Polar Bear Patrol in the town to prevent polar bears from becoming a threat to the locals. The image here was captured by me and it came as a surprise but she was a majestic bear and the first one of six that I’ve ever seen between my travels to Greenland and Canada.

Cruises to Greenland and other parts of the Arctic are always unpredictable but fun because you have the flexibility in terms of what you can do and where you can go. I vetted some new local and responsible operators while I visited Qeqertarsuaq and Ilulissat this trip but also appreciate all the amenities of the cruise ship SH Vega by Swan Hellenic. You can’t ask for more and I look forward to the future! Here are some photos that sum up the experience!

I thought I loved ice until I visited Petra’s rock collection in East Iceland. The rocks on display presented innumerable opportunities to photograph the details with unbelievable color and textures. I’m now a rock fan as well.

Preservation and protection of the Greenland Sledge Dog breed, qimmeq, is taken seriously in Greenland. So much so that there are no other dog breeds allowed north of the Arctic Circle. All trips to Northern Greenland inevitably involve an encounter with these majestic books that look ordinary but are anything but.

Many thanks to the team at Swan Hellenic who invited me to be the guest lecturer for the Greenland and Canada Voyage in Sept-Oct 2024 on their beautiful ship, SH Vega. More to come!

My little polar bears keep me company while we are having very cold weather here in Texas right now. Love my Didi and Amélie!

Thanks to MM for sharing this photo on FB of his trip out on the ice today hunting in Scoresbysund, Greenland. It is unreal how fast those dogs run and how smooth the ride is on the sled. This is an experience not to be missed!

The pictures weren’t good because the tide was not in our favor. However, the northern lights over Ilulissat on Diskoline’s first-ever Aurora cruise was priceless! Highly recommended. @diskolineexplorer #ilulissat #aurora #sorrythiswasjustmyphone #greenland #visitgreenland #northernlights

One iceberg over seven weeks that changed my perspective on icebergs. Short story of my brief relationship with Lulu. This was my first ever flight with my DJI Mini2 drone. The location is Scoresbysund, Greenland near Ittoqqortoormiit. Dedicated gallery to this iceberg is on my website Icebergchick.com Visit Remote Greenland!
