This immersive expedition takes photographers deep into East Greenland’s remote wilderness to capture the Northern Lights and the dramatic landscapes of Scoresbysund. Travelling by charter flight from Iceland and exploring by expedition vessel and Zodiac, guests journey through one of the most spectacular fjord systems in the world. Towering peaks, drifting icebergs, and vast Arctic silence create a breathtaking backdrop for photography. Guided by expert polar photographers, the expedition combines flexible exploration, daily landings, and cultural encounters in remote Greenlandic communities. With pristine dark skies and minimal light pollution, this journey offers exceptional opportunities to photograph the Aurora Borealis above some of the most untouched landscapes on the planet.
September to October offers ideal conditions for capturing the Northern Lights, with dark skies and strong aurora activity. Frozen fjords and forming sea ice create perfect settings for night photography, alongside dramatic landscapes and expert-led experiences.

Explore Viking Bay by Zodiac, observing bird cliffs and basalt formations. Land on Danmark Island for hikes through Arctic tundra where wildlife such as Musk Ox may be spotted.
Cruise deeper into the fjord system including Hare Fjord and Øfjord. Land on the Bear Islands and at Sydkap for panoramic views of immense icebergs along the edge of Northeast Greenland National Park.
Visit Ittoqqortoormiit, one of the most remote settlements in Greenland, and learn about the traditions and lifestyle of its Arctic community.

“Thanks so much for suggesting and organising our day trip to ishfjord radio The boat and crew were fab. The tour around a glacier was amazing. Then lunch at ishfjord radio was another adventure. On the way back we used the time to spot wildlife and saw a walrus and countless birds. Both the guides were amazing”
