Flying Over Greenland

My flight back home from Iceland flew over the southern tip of Greenland. It was an afternoon flight, and it was an almost cloudless sky. Luckily I had a window seat and my camera at my feet. Actual, it wasn’t luck. I always get a window seat if I can. Also, I trust neither the TSA nor any airline with my camera, so it is always carried on the plane. Greenland is gorgeous from above. Not so sure I want to visit though, maybe, for a short visit sometime. I’ve been to Antarctica, so perhaps I should venture to the arctic also.

  1. When we visited Iceland, our kayak guide mentioned that his company’s (i.e. his dad’s) major business was sailing trips from Iceland to Greenland with a temporary camp along the coast. That’d be a long vacation for someone from the US but it sounded like a lot of fun.
