CAPTURE EAST GREENLAND – PHOTO TOUR Greenland is one of the rugged and remote countries in the Arctic region. The Angmagssalik island is located south of the Arctic Circle with vastness of backcountry. The landscape is barren and dominated by high peaks, glacier outlets breaking off into the sea and floating icebergs of all sizes. We consider late summer and early autumn to be the best time for photographers to visit East Greenland. Why? The midnight sun is retreating and you will have a range of light spectrum over the day and get the chance to shoot at dusk and dawn. Last but not least the Northern Lights are visible on clear nights.
