Join Nigel Danson & Jeroen Van Nieuwenhove in photographing one of the most stunning locations in the world! It’s often said that Greenland is a place you need to see with your own eyes to believe it’s real. Witnessing the UNESCO Ilulissat Icefjord and Disko Bay in person is definitely one of those once-in-a-lifetime experiences. It’s arguably one of the most impressive and most beautiful environments of the Arctic. The whole ocean surrounding the town of Ilulissat is covered in icebergs of all shapes and size – some even as large as a whole apartment building.

A bucket list item for many landscape photographers for sure!
