Kangerlussuaq GREENLAND Arrival

Touchdown in Greenland. We've made it to Kangerlussuaq and today begin a new series spanning 5 videos and 3 amazing new destinations.
In this first video we explore the area around Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. Things to do with a focus on photography specifically. From Muskox to Reindeer, Glaciers to day hikes there is lots to look forward to.
Big thanks to Evald at arcticicetours.com/ for the help getting to the Glacier. Amazing local guide 🙏🏻
For more info on this specific photography workshop be sure to check out www.brendansadventures.com/tr...
This is a photography workshop led by myself and ‪@BrendanvanSon‬

Sometimes I get asked about royalty free music and the tracks I use. The music in this video was sourced via Soundstripe. Not Epidemic, Artlist or Music Bed... but Soundstripe. It's awesome and I genuinely use this service to find new music every week. Help me help you. bit.ly/3y8Qn8l

    From what I just read, Kangerlussuaq Fjord is 190 Km long. But the longest Fjord is the Scoresby Sund system on the other side of Greenland. Its longest tributary reaches 350 Km inland. Beautiful area and cool video! Is it me, or has Russell Glacier receded a lot in recent years? That gravel bed extending from the terminus, with no soil or grass, looks like it was under ice until relatively recently. Thanks.

    Russell Glacier is a very special experience. It's an unusual glacier in that it has a glacial wall (face) but terminates on land. It's also super unusual to be able to get so close to a glacier so easily and be the only people there. The whole Kangerlussuaq area is incredible - lots more to explore there when you come back next time.

    Thanks Greg! This was a fun watch. A destination i want to go sometime in the future. Was it difficult to book transportation to the sights or is it part of local business anyway?
