Its very hard to see but the pilot came on and said that this was actually snow,it was clear below!There where mountins 15000 feet high, with 10000 feet of snow on top, equaling 25000 feet above sea level. We were at 41000 ft high for a usual plane flight. Leave a Comment

It's quite amazing landing a large cargo plane on a snow field. Even more exciting is the take-off. Leave a Comment

Maybe I'm cheating: I've never been on the ground in Greenland, but I've flown over it innumerable times. Take a look at the travelogue for a series of aerial shots taken from 33,000 feet. Leave a Comment

Hi Eric,
I can only relate a bit of experience from a very small part of Greenland. I was working at the Thule Air Base for a year but didn't get to do much besides explore the local area. Seeing the ice cap is very cool, as is seeing the glaciers flowing into the fjords or just walking along the shore listening to the ice in the ocean cracking and popping and almost sounding like the musical sounds a stream makes flowing over a rocky bed with lots of mini-waterfalls. :-) I don't know about seeing polar bears while you're out, but seeing the huge rabbits/hares and the small foxes running about the country side is very interesting.
Thule is so far north that there aren't any bushes or trees so I really didn't have much of hiking/outdoorsy experience. But we did have an ice cave up there, as well as camp century. I never made it out there, but it was a military base that was built UNDER the snow cap. And, of course, if you're out there early enough for the ocean to still be frozen over, you can walk out to icebergs that were frozen in place through the winter!
It is a very coo, but very desolate place. :-) Leave a Comment
