Chasing Light in East Greenland: Landscapes, Icebergs & Northern Lights
For landscape photographers and aurora chasers, East Greenland in autumn offers the ultimate expedition of Earth and sky. Under the guidance of world-class polar photographers Virgil Reglioni and Randy Hanna, this journey is your chance to capture otherworldly beauty – from towering icebergs and wildlife-strewn tundra to the shimmering dance of the northern lights.
At the heart of this voyage is Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system – a place of labyrinthine waterways, cathedral-sized icebergs, and stark, majestic mountains. As you explore this mythical region, you’ll also have the chance to photograph Arctic wildlife such as musk oxen, Arctic foxes, hares, and perhaps even the elusive narwhal or polar bear.
By night, look to the skies. With zero light pollution and peak-season conditions in late September, East Greenland becomes one of the best places on Earth to witness and photograph the aurora borealis. Whether you’re an experienced photographer or just starting out, Virgil and Randy will help you master the techniques needed to capture the aurora – images that truly stay with you forever.
This is a rare opportunity to shoot in a place where nature speaks in silence and light – a place where every landscape and night sky tells a story.
