Our 2 red sail boats posing around a cool iceberg (pun intended). I spotted this one from very far away with binoculars. It took us 1.5 hours to sail to it and we were not disappointed.

When the moon rises, everything just looks magical. We planned a bunch of photos with the moon on tops of icebergs or sometimes in between. We used the app Photopills to check where exactly the moon would rise. Photographing the moon from a boat handheld is extremely tricky, especially when we have to position the other boat as well. Everything is moving and we had to use a higher ISO and fast shutter speed to get the shots. But the results were spectacular. This was shot at 400mm! To get the moon big we had to get very far away from the icebergs and the other boat.

Some icebergs have holes or aches in them. This one had a tunnel which was hit by sunlight from the inside.

We are sailing every day and the light can last for hours during the midnight sun with sometimes spectacular sunsets and sunrises as a result.

Another planned moonrise where we positioned the moon just between the 2 tops of this ice piece, with our boat as a model.

A massive wall of ice. Our little boat works great here to show the scale of the whole scene. Our boat is 27 meters tall, so guess how big this iceberg is?

Some icebergs really look like rough mountain ranges. Combined with dark skies and moody weather, they make for a Lord of the Rings atmosphere.

A humpback whale diving and showing its tail. You can see the whales here often but they usually do not jump out of the water. Sometimes they show their tail but that’s about it. We had seen a few jumping ones but unfortunately, I didn’t capture any of them. Maybe next time.

A spectacular midnight sunset. It sometimes lasts for hours!

By playing around with arches in icebergs, placement of our boats and the sunlight, we create some beautiful compositions.

An abstract shot of an iceberg at 100mm. Sometimes icebergs rotate around. The bottoms usually have these interesting ridges as shapes.

Ilimanaq settlement. About 2 hours of sailing from Ilulissat. Locals really live in the middle of nowhere with a prime view over the ice and the whales. It has about 80 inhabitants. Walking around there is surreal.

Another calm evening during twilight. The gradient you see in the sky is really magical. Combined with almost no wind and beautiful reflections, this is a dreamworld.

Another moonshot of the moon rising behind a giant pyramid with our little red sailboat sailing in front of it. This one was also shot at 400mm at a very far distance.

A massive piece of ice that looks like a huge mountain. These are just floating around in Disko Bay. You can find different ones each day depending on the wind.

Our little red sailboats are always a great object to photograph, especially during ‘bad’ weather. The red sails really pop in dark skies.

By using our boats we show the massive scale of some of these icebergs. This one had a lake with a waterfall in the middle.

A playful composition that I can’t take credit for. It was our captain Daniel’s idea to put our ship in front of this pyramid so we could make a mirrored composition, with the rising moon in the middle.

A high key shot of a seagull sitting on the crystal clear peak of the iceberg.

Sailing at twilight is really magical. The purple and blue sky creates a dreamlike atmosphere.

The moon rising on the top of the iceberg. To line up these kinds of shots, our captains need to navigate extremely precisely.

Greenland, which is part of Denmark, copies the architectural style with their colorful houses.

A top down shot (by drone) of an ice piece with a bunch of little ‘rivers’. It looks like a snowy landscape.

Spectacular clouds on a calm evening in Disko Bay.

Red sails and moody weather: a winning combination. Especially with some rugged icebergs.

Flying my drone (Mavic Pro 2) from the shore over the icebergs is really magical.

Rodebay, another settlement about 2 hours sailing from Ilulissat. This little settlement has a population of fewer than 50 people. You can see a lot of sled dogs everywhere around Ilulissat and in all these little villages. They are being used in winter, but in summer they just chill and do nothing. They are not aggressive in general.

These fishing boats are in a dreamworld of color during the midnight sun season.

A whale in front of a giant wall of ice. Whales are big, but the ice pieces are huge.
