Greenland

Today the VS19 from London to San Francisco flew much further north than usual. We were treated to great views over Greenland - even the captain was excited (judging from his announcements encouraging us to not miss the view).
These pictures are of the west coast of Greenland at a latitude of about 72 degrees north; as you can see, it's not very green. This first picture shows the Uvkusigssat Fjord.
 ...and this is the Ingia Fjord and the Ingia Isbrae glacier.
Check out the detailed maps here; look at the area where sheets d,e,f and g join.
