Kangerlussuaq GREENLAND Arrival

Touchdown in Greenland. We've made it to Kangerlussuaq and today begin a new series spanning 5 videos and 3 amazing new destinations.
In this first video we explore the area around Kangerlussuaq, Greenland. Things to do with a focus on photography specifically. From Muskox to Reindeer, Glaciers to day hikes there is lots to look forward to.
Big thanks to Evald at arcticicetours.com/ for the help getting to the Glacier. Amazing local guide 🙏🏻

Sometimes I get asked about royalty free music and the tracks I use. The music in this video was sourced via Soundstripe. Not Epidemic, Artlist or Music Bed... but Soundstripe. It's awesome and I genuinely use this service to find new music every week. Help me help you. bit.ly/3y8Qn8l

How about that glacier drone footage!! What an awesome location in Russell glacier. Stay tuned for some incredible videos coming up next. Greenland was insane. The northern lights content I captured is next level shit.

[@arnemacht...]

Great footage. At some points i thought you would collide with the glacier.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

Ahh so that's where my family put our Glacier!! thanks for finding it for me!

[@gregsnell]

I went to Greenland without paying a dollar thanks to this video. 😅💰

[@eltinjones4542]

A member of our club brought back some amazing shots from Greenland but I don't think they trekked as much as you 😂📷👍

[@CaseyJohnsonPhoto]

Epic drone footage!!!

[@gregsnell]

Casey!!!! Thanks man. Go trash pandas!!

[@BernardBrunet]

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

That was awesome pal !! Some flow on the water at 5:25 and yup that dronage was rather tasty !! Great Edutainment indeed Bro

[@gregsnell]

I know you appreciated that high res cutout of Mr. Lardcastle.

[@DarrenJSpoonley]

@@gregsnell it’s my new screensaver :-)

[@tjsinva]

You found the boondocks! 👍🥂

[@gregsnell]

No that's somewhere in Canada from what I've been told.

[@gregsnell]

I take it back... the Boondocks noun [ plural ] US / UK / ˈany area in the country that is quiet, has few people living in it, and is a long way away from a town or city' aka you nailed it, we found the boondocks.

[@frankoley6826]

Great video Greg, I can't wait to see the next episode!

[@gregsnell]

The light is incredible. Greenland coastal photography is next level.

[@jcben]

Awesome shots 👏

[@gregsnell]

Merci JC!!

[@brianmckeever5280]

Nice!

[@curtis.strange]

The footage going over the icy spires made me weep, sweet lord

[@gregsnell]

😂🤘🇬🇱👍

[@mannipearce3357]

Great location Greg, loved the glacier, very impressive from the ground and especially the air shots.

[@GregSheard]

Great vlog Greg 🙂 the glacier was stunning with some amazing footage and shots. Sugar loaf really reminds me of Scotland so very beautiful. Looking forward to the rest of this series 😀

[@DflyDude]

Drone shots with the contours of the glacier … very cool.

[@gregsnell]

Dude!!!!

[@denisbresolin]

Wow!!!!! Another wonderful place with Amazing views !!! The drone footage is insane over the glacier!! You guys just started into an adventure for sure with beautiful scenery my friend. Take Care and hold onto your cap never know that wind speed…lol…👍👍🤣

[@cruxtonhouse7846]

Drone footage = pure awesomeness 👌

[@KarenBaker616263]

Great video Greg! Drone over the glacier so incredible! Thanks for sharing with us.

[@spid7223]

That drone footage epic man

[@gregsnell]

🤘

[@striehm]

Great video Greg! Drone footage was spectacular.

[@gregsnell]

Shawn!! Cheers man. This trip had been awesome. You've got a drone too right? I saw a nice lake photo of yours recently. I think it was from a drone.

[@striehm]

@@gregsnell I did bought my first one a mini 3 pro and its way better than expected and a blast to explore new photo areas or views. Greenland looks really awesome, wish I would have join you guys for the adventure maybe sometime soon.

[@RussWeymouthPhotography]

Awesome video, amazing scenery and glacier!

[@scotty4418]

Great to see Greenland from your perspective Greg, video footage and drone footage was epic as were the images. Looked like the start of a great photography adventure

[@ocskaym]

The glacier drone footage is just so stunning Greg! I can't wait for you to show more from Greenland!

[@eiremic]

What great drone footage, and thanks for taking us to Greenland. Loved this!

[@jasonkennedy2045]

Awesome vlog bud, epic drone footage. Love the detail on the pano tips as well…. Very smooth!! Jase 👍

[@gregsnell]

Yeah those paños tips go a long way. Always make for a good stitch.

[@scottman895]

Greenland looks awesome so far! It is a place I have never considered going before, but I may have to now. The landscapes look incredible, and it looks quite remote too!

[@fototripper]

The drone footage looks amazing. I formally request much more of it.

[@gregsnell]

G-man!! Thanks mate. Yup much more to come except for the next video. An airport got in the way.

[@fototripper]

@@gregsnell I've forgotten what an airport is.

[@abelolsen9656]

Yup, you came to Greenland... I won't say in wrong time, but we had issues with weather in the last couple of months (June to August, if they're around the time, you're here and yup, I'm from Greenland), lots of delays and cancelled planes, so they booked hotels for them.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

From what I just read, Kangerlussuaq Fjord is 190 Km long. But the longest Fjord is the Scoresby Sund system on the other side of Greenland. Its longest tributary reaches 350 Km inland. Beautiful area and cool video! Is it me, or has Russell Glacier receded a lot in recent years? That gravel bed extending from the terminus, with no soil or grass, looks like it was under ice until relatively recently. Thanks.

[@gregsnell]

Really!! 350km 🤯 Wow. That's amazing.

[@JohnDrummondPhoto]

@@gregsnell sure is! I added a question to my comment regarding the apparent recession of that glacier. Am I correct? And what are your thoughts?

[@destinationarcticcircle]

Russell Glacier is a very special experience. It's an unusual glacier in that it has a glacial wall (face) but terminates on land. It's also super unusual to be able to get so close to a glacier so easily and be the only people there. The whole Kangerlussuaq area is incredible - lots more to explore there when you come back next time.

[@sander5086]

Drone footage was amazing Greg, what a location!!! Looking forward to the rest of the series, those icebergs during sunset look insane!!!!

[@gregsnell]

Yeah the next video sunset is next level.

[@jonathanplatt6559]

Those landscapes really do look amazing. How did you manage to find those local contacts to give you a lift to Russell Glacier and Sugarloaf Mountain? That would be really useful to know as I am going to Kangerlussuaq this summer and the guided tours are rather expensive.

[@moritzgyssler]

Somehow the 4x4 ride to Russell glacier looks way smoother than it actually was ;-)

[@gregsnell]

True!! I blame the Gimbal.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

Those drone shots are super sick!! Imagine if you were using the DJI Avata FPV, you could have got funky stuff in the glacier!! Loving the land cruisers being driven properly!! Looks like this will be an awesome trip!

[@gregsnell]

Good shout.

[@TheNonsenseAdventures]

@@gregsnell add it all to the basket!!! Nellie won't be happy with me! haha

[@garrydelday5816]

Great Vlog Greg, I know very little about Greenland so will be watching for educational purposes as much as the great photography. Stunning drone footage and you will make me “green” with envy with any Aurora shots (only caught a faint glimpse on my Orkney holiday) but it’s all kicked off up there since my return 🙁 🇬🇱👍

[@gregsnell]

You're in for a treat mate. The Northern Lights photos are next level. Best I've ever seen x3.

[@adrianstanley6952]

Greenland has been on my bucket list for 25 years! Your video is amazing and I’ve never wanted to go so bad. Think it’s going to happen this year. Any tips?

[@gregsnell]

Yeah late summer is a great time to go.

[@adrianstanley6952]

@@gregsnell Well, I’m a flight attendant for American and I’ve been waiting years for Air Greenland to join the ZED staff traveler program. But, looks like I’ll have to pay full fare lol. But I am sure it’s worth every penny.

[@benjamindalbyaagaard2324]

Awesome video! What zoom lenses did your bring? Im gong to Kangerlussuaq and Nuuk in October and don’t know if I should rent a 100-400 or 150-600 (Sony)

[@gregsnell]

100-400 is the better lens.

[@arnemacht...]

Thanks Greg! This was a fun watch. A destination i want to go sometime in the future. Was it difficult to book transportation to the sights or is it part of local business anyway? Can´t wait for the rest of your trip. Do you have to give a lot of instructions to your group on location or do they use the time on their own? Greetings from Hamburg!

[@gregsnell]

Arne!! What's up man. Yeah transport has been tough but we have still been able to find and boom it where needed. Just not as obvious as other destinations. We do give some instruction but most people on these trips already have a relatively good handle on their cameras. It's more about the adventure and immersive experience 👍

[@ramsulmamsul389]

How many photographers are on this trip?

[@gregsnell]

We are 8 🤘

[@rogersteele9890]

Nice video and captures, however the fast loud music is somehow not aligned with serene nature.
