    Flying Over Greenland

    June 21, 2023, Greenland Sea ⋅ ⛅ 2 °C

    The first part of the flight was crossing the ocean towards the coast of Greenland. There was much excitement and taking of photos when the east coast was spotted. There were no clouds so we had a fantastic view of the coast and the many thousands of icebergs, which none of us had expected to see. I'm not sure why, but we didn't and it was an amazing sight. Mind you, having said that they can be seen using Google Earth but I just never looked before. 🙄

    Later, over central Greenland somewhere, we saw mountain tops rising up through the ice sheet and once more, the phones and cameras were snapping frantically.

    Those were the only photo opportunities given to us because soon after the clouds obscured our view.

    (The GPS coordinates on my phone didn't update in the plane so the location for this footprint is completely wrong.)
