At 7:30 a.m. on June 19, 2024, we were all gathered on the tarmac at Nasarsuaq airport on the south-west coast of Greenland for the second leg of the Atlantic Ocean crossing. The sky was relatively clear, with a layer of clouds high in the sky, but the weather forecast was good, at least for the first half of the 8-hour flight.
We all boarded our respective planes and took off in formation.
We then crossed Greenland from west to east, flying over the Greenland ice cap and down the other side towards Iceland.
What really surprised me was the optical illusion created by the ice and glaciers. Since we have no perspective, we have the impression of being at very low altitude. The photos below were taken between 3,000 and 5,500 feet above sea level. So you can imagine the size of the glaciers!
Total number of hours of the day’s flight: 8.1 hours
