Join a Greenland photo tour to Scoresby with Arctic photography and northern lights expert Virgil Reglioni. Experience this unique voyage to photograph the mythical Scoresby Sund, the largest fjord system in the world with a world-class photographer, and just 12 other like-minded photographers.

This voyage takes places during the latter half of September at the optimum time for encountering the Northern Lights. Whilst never guaranteed, there is a chance to witness this phenomenon in one of the most scenic places on Earth with zero light pollution and majestic mountains all around.

Our photography guides offer assistance where required to help you improve your skills and get the best images possible. Where time allows tutorials will be carried out onboard, but the emphasis is always on maximising time outside in the field. 

Our expedition team has extensive experience in Greenland and will seek out the optimal places for photography based on the conditions.
