There is a lot to be said for harsh weather destinations being great photography destinations. Greenland is no exception to that rule. The country is incredibly photogenic and the number of photo locations are not only countless, but most still remain undiscovered. If your goal as a photographer is to visit a place where you can make wildly beautiful images that are unique, Greenland is the type of place that can facilitate that.

That said, Greenland is far from an easy place to explore. The limited infrastructure is a challenge. And many of the truly wonderous photo locations are actually totally inaccessible without a true expedition. Greenland might be stunningly beautiful, but it is work. As a photographer, you’re going to have to put in the work to make photos here. But, it will be worth it.
