February News Update – Greenland on My Mind
The first time I visited Greenland, I was blown away by the unique culture and nature. Ever since I have visited this most adventurous and beautiful place time after time. In the late summer where the long nights start, you experience the magical northern lights, and in the spring, the soft and warm light flares throughout the day.
The weather may change, one day it snows, the next day the sun shines and suddenly you can not sail on the fjord as it is packed with icebergs – in Greenland, it is mother nature who sets the agenda and not you. I wish for all those who admire the raw and untouched nature, they just once in a lifetime may explore the mighty mountains, sky-high icebergs, and on the horizon a dog sled – that’s life.
Let me share with you the behind-the-scenes video of our Greenland Workshop for inspiration.

So many great expereince…
“I think my favorite experience would have to be an early morning shoot, just after a dusting of snow had fallen, bringing wonderful definition to the rock formations on the hillside in front of the ice fjord.” described David Muiry, from the United Kingdom, participant of Better Moments Greenland Workshop.
