South Greenland is the gentler face of the world’s largest island — fjords, sheep farms and small towns rather than endless ice. The focus here is Narsaq, a town of fewer than 1,400 people where icebergs drift past the harbour and the Ilimaussaq mountains stand behind the painted houses. Reached by boat or helicopter from Narsarsuaq, it is a place most visitors see for only a few hours; the articles cover how to use that time, when the light is best, and why photographers keep returning to this coast.
Narsaq is a town of fewer than 1,400 people on the southern coast of Greenland, ringed by fjords, glaciers and drifting ice. It is reached by boat or helicopter from Narsarsuaq, most visits last between a few hours and a couple of days — and for photographers it repays every one of them. This is what to expect, when to come, and how to make a short stop count.
