While it was getting dark and a wee bit chilly at our campsite near the Rasmussen glacier, the sun was still shining brightly on the Karle glacier around the corner casting an orange glow in the distance that warmed my chilly bones. Photographed while kayaking in East Greenland last summer.
Great photo!!
Thanks and have a great weekend. 🙂
I like the way the rock points around the edges direct the eye to the orange glow. Beautiful!
Thanks Eliza, it was a beautiful place indeed. Hope your weekend will be full of fun.
very beautiful…i love the glow and how that color is echoed on the rocks and in the water in the foreground
Thanks Laura, those orange rocks were really something and present on the shore in many of the places near these glaciers. The orange really was warming in such a cold environment. Hope you have a great weekend and thanks again for the very insightful and constructive feedback.
You’re welcome! Thank you for giving me a little more info on the area. It’s a beautiful image.
Next time I make it to Greenland I need to go wit a geologist as the rock are amazing and I know little about geology.
that would be so interesting!
It would. I would love to be on one of the old time expeditions in which the explorers brought along artists, scientists, writers and others on the adventure.
And I’d like to see the documentary. 🙂
Probably be a coffee table book. 🙂
there ya go
🙂
wow, what an adventure that was!
THanks, it was indeed an adventure and I hope you can get out this weekend for at least a mini or micro adventure yourself. Have a great one.
Beautiful.
Thanks Rachel, wishing you a fun filled and exciting weekend.
Thanks, Mike. And I hope you have a good one too.
Beautiful photo! The changes in colors of the cliffs show the beauty of geology too.
Thanks John, the geology is really amazing and I need to lean much more about it prior to me next trip to Greenland. Wishing you a great weekend.

Thanks for passing along the photo.
Great pic!
Hard to take a bad photo in that landscape. Have a great weekend.
Thanks and same to you 🙂
Yw, and have a great week.
Gorgeous soft color palette with wonderful radiant light! Love the way you composed it as it.
Thanks, I have to give Greenland the credit for the palette and the sun for the light but I can claim credit for the composition. Hope you have a fun weekend planed. Thanks again for the feedback as it is very appreciated.
Wow, what a fabulous picture!
Thanks but it was hard not to take a good photo with such surroundings. Hope you have a great weekend.
I don’t think I can take another photo after seeing this one…. simply beyond stunning!
Hanne, wow that is a kind compliment but please keep on taking photos. Hope you have a great weekend. 🙂
Thank you, Mike!
I’ll try 🙂
A good week to you.
Thanks.
Beautiful sight!
Indeed it was. Wishing you a wonderfilled weekend.
Thanks, Mike! You, too! 🙂
Your welcome, I plan on it.
Take lots of photos! 😀
I will try but that depends on the weather…rain in the forecast.
Hmm… OK. Trying is good enough. 🙂
But I will try hard. 🙂
Yay! ** Very big grin **
This is beautiful!
Thanks Emily.
Very pretty!
Thanks it was a beautiful place to be and that glow did really give some warmth to a chilly evening. Hope you are having a great weekend.
Looks stunning
Thanks it was a great place. Hope your weekend is going well.

Just gorgeous!
Thanks, hope your weekend is going great.
This is just perfect. Colors, composition, light, landscape. Greenland and Iceland (and Canada. And Scotland 😀 ) are locations I wanted to visit already for years, but every year there’s something which prevents me from going. I envy you for this experience. 🙂
Thanks Suzan, Hope you do make it to any of those places you mentioned above. There is something special about the north in summer.
Thanks, Mike. Those are such great landscapes for taking photos, and the nature must be incredible. I’ve been already as far as Denmark and the light is indeed a special one. But Iceland and Greenland are even more different – and special, I guess. But it – and the company – has to fit when traveling there. So – one day for sure. 🙂
Best of luck on getting the stars to align so to speak and best of travels wherever they may be.
Thanks, you are very kind. 🙂 … The same to you and many happy travels and awesome experiences.
🙂
What an awesome place to paddle. You are a blessed man!
Thanks, it was an experience I will always cherish.
Thanks for posting Greenland pics. Nice. Was the starting point Kulusuk? I couldn’t find this on Google. Thanks for sharing. My favorite place on earth (Kallatit Nunaat). http://www.rudyowens.com/greenland/
Hi Rudy, Greenland is a magical place and thanks for the link to your photos they sure make me wish I could return this summer. Our kayaking started in the Sermilik Fjord after hiking over the mountains from Tasiilaq. If you search google for kuummiut greenland and follow the fjord to the northeast up into a bigger fjord with a y shape the photo was taken near the right portion of the Y.
Yes, it is magic. When I went in 1998 there were no cruise ships. Today, I think more than 10,000 people come in on those behemoths. In 1998, Coke had only been introduced the year before. Change has come beyond climate change. Found the spot on the map. Never did do any exploring on the east side, and wish I had. Awesome blog. Best. Rudy
Rudy, that sounds great. The east side is less populated and explored so it may represent a return trip.
