Mike,<\/p>\n
On our way across the pond last month, our Brit Air pilot just missed Greenland.\u00c2\u00a0 According to the map monitor on the back of the seat in front of me, we flew just south of the southern tip. (It was cloudy anyway.) But on the way back, we crossed the southern tip, and I got some photos<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0I’m in the negotiation stages with my hiking buddies to go here on our next backpack trip.<\/p>\n Our flight was probably about the latitude of Paamiut, on the west coast at latitude 62 deg, but I saw no towns. Apparently they were lost in the clouds along the coast.<\/p>\n Some of my pictures show a massive east-west fjord, possibly <\/a>Lindenow Fjo<\/a>rd<\/a> on the east coast.\u00c2\u00a0But that’s just a wild guess.<\/p>\n A few of the shots are crystal clear, the luck of the draw with airplane windows. In one of them you can see the crevasses in a glacier system flowing out of the mountains.<\/p>\n The last few shots are of northern Canada –\u00c2\u00a0 the Barren Lands and James Bay, the southern extension of Hudson Bay.\u00c2\u00a0 The spring breakup was in progress. Whether it was early or not, as it has been in the last few years, I can’t tell.<\/p>\n –rakkity<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Mike, On our way across the pond last month, our Brit Air pilot just missed Greenland.\u00c2\u00a0 According to the map monitor on the back of the seat in front of me, we flew just south of the southern tip.
