35 Photos to Inspire You to Visit Greenland

by shortgirlontour

Greenland truly was one of the most incredible places that I have visited and I am so glad I got to check off one of my major bucket list items. I have published several blog posts on Greenland now, ranging from how to plan a trip and what to pack. If none of my previous posts on Greenland inspired you to visit this breathtakingly beautiful country, I am hoping that these 35 photos will inspire you!

This is one of my favorite photos of Disko Bay in Greenland. I captured it as I was walking back to my accommodation one evening. This is one of the boats that go on mid-night sailing cruises. A mid-night cruise is a must when you visit Ilulissat. Depending on the tour operator, you may be on a bigger boat like this or a small one. Both are great tours!

It’s so hard to capture the scale of the icebergs in Greenland in photos.

A day trip to visit Eqi Glacier is one of the best things to do in Ilulissat. It’s so hard to capture how big this glacier is!

We got as close to the Eqi Glacier as we could. Our little boat cut through all this ice!

Greenlandic sled dogs! You will see them everywhere!

Views from the Ilulissat ice fjord.

Grey skies bring out the light blues in the icebergs.

This was taken around 10:30 PM during the summer. The sun is still high up but the clouds really set the mood for this photo.

Some boats are able to get very close to the ice!

Like clouds and ice cream all at once!

You will see this waterfall on your way to and from the Eqi Glacier. We got water right from the waterfall on the way back.

This is another one of my favorites!

Love seeing all the formations of the icebergs!

I really enjoyed all the sights from a mid-night cruise so much so that I did 2 tours. No 2 tours are alike because of the conditions of the sky, time of day etc.

We got ice straight from the water.

This one reminded me of a pyramid!

Greenland is one place where I actually prefer the skies grey as they make for beautiful photos.

Love this baby blue iceberg!

Still water and perfect reflections!

Icebergs as big as mountains!
