How NOT To Travel to Greenland
Greenland is awesome. But there's little known about it from a travel standpoint. On today's video, I learned how not travel to Greenland, but also "Greenland is Epic".

Thanks mate! Happy holidays to you as well!
It was so good to see the images again from Greenland. It was a really good en epic trip. Thanks.
Loove the iceshelf "mountain" at 15.39, great shot! Can't wait for the other videos! ;)
Brendan, thank you so much for these images! Due to financial restrictions I’m unable to travel. Your images and narration made me feel as if I were there with you guys. What an incredible life you lead. Enjoy every moment and thank you for sharing your knowledge and your adventures.
Oh to live on Sugar Mountain With the barkers and the colored balloons You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon You're leaving there too soon. Okay it's not Sugarloaf Mountain, but it's close, need to talk with Neil Young about that 🤣👍 The drone footage of the Glacier was cool👍👍
Good evening. Like it, this is great ! 🎥
Cool video :) Glad you enjoyed Kangerlussuaq. Just to let you and your viewers know, there are actually 3 smaller tour operators in Kangerlussuaq: Arctic Ice Tours (which Evald owns), Kang Mini Tours, and Tundra Adventures. As you mention in the video, there is also a large operator: Albatros Arctic Circle.
13:09 The footage of the glaciers are mesmerizing, to think 100,000 years of memory are frozen there. Those northern lights are beautiful too, would love to see it face to face someday.
Omg i used to be obsessed with your videos. So happy I’m watching again

Thanks for watching, Isa!
I really enjoyed seeing this! I was stationed there on temporary duty for about 6 weeks with the US Air Force in the 80s when it was called Sondre Stromfjord. I was all of 19 years old at the time. We were able to convince someone from the base to drive us out to the glacier where I shot a few images on film. The sands around the fjord are quicksand and we were warned to stay out of them, and I did witness an empty wooden cable spool discarded from one of the Air Force units drifting down the fjord and sinking slowly as it flowed. There were also wonderful fossil beds somewhere off the ends of the runway. Cheers!

Curiously, no one ever mentioned anything about landmines to us when I was there on TDY!
It looks like exploring new unknown territory brings out the best in you Brendan. Even if not a photo location, your images are great and Gregg's glacier footage...epic! Greenland now is on my have-to-go-to list. Cheers, all the best from the Netherlands

My recollection of the Copenhagen airport is that the staff was very friendly, the coffee was very good, and the temperature inside was 1000 degrees. Really cool LEGO store too.
When were you there Brendan-perhaps October? I was in Kangerlussuaq in early August.
16:54 watching all that water flowing down the waterfall makes me wonder how long ago that same water fell as snow to form part of the glacier.

Always a fun game, isn't it? The real answer is likely boring. It's a mix of top-level newly fallen snow that melted on the surface, and millions-years old water :D

@@BrendanvanSon It kind of makes you realise just how tiny we really are in the grand scheme of things.
Do the Musk Oxen and Reindeer know about the land mines? An adventure to be sure. Great drone imagery, nice to have that access. Patagonia should think about issuing permits for some extra pesos. MIght be a winner. Maybe they're listening, eh? Carry on! 👍🥂

what a cool job and also i love your videos can anyone tell me how does brandon make money out of it ?
Greenland looks absolutely incredible! I love that feeling that you are completely away from civilization and have a huge area to explore. The terrain is out of this world!

apparently Sugarloaf Mtn in New Brunswick is killer to climb too.
ooh and we want to see those green lights in the sky in the future episode ahah The glaciar part could work with a more telephoto lens and just get some "details", also the weather didn't look very photogenic, it may be better on another time and help make stupid good photos
