Welcome to AE Expeditions’ Iceland & East Greenland – Through the Lens Photography expedition. 

Embark on our Photography Expeditions where you’ll capture the world’s wonders, alongside some of the finest photographers on the planet. Our photographers will teach you the tricks of the trade, whether you’re wielding professional gear or snapping shots on your smartphone. Enjoy extended opportunities for breathtaking shots, from specially designed Zodiac cruises to immersive onshore excursions, where every moment becomes an invitation to create. Our multiple award-winning photographers will inspire you with their passion, sharing their insights through onboard presentations and off-ship guidance. 

An exploration crafted for the discerning eye; this one-of-a-kind photography voyage unveils the dramatic landscapes of Eastern Greenland and Iceland’s Westfjords. East Greenland beckons, a land where colossal icebergs calve from glaciers into deep fjords, offering unparalleled opportunities to capture the raw power of nature. Witness the dance of light as kittiwakes, arctic terns, and glaucous gulls dive amidst the sculptural ice, a photographer’s dream. In Scoresbysund, the world’s largest fjord system, photograph icebergs drifting serenely against the vibrant autumnal flora, while keeping your lens ready for arctic hares, musk oxen, and the camouflaged ptarmigan. True photographic exploration awaits at every turn. 

Highlights

Capture the golden-hour glow across East Greenland’s fjords, where monumental icebergs and mirror-like waters create dreamlike compositions at every turn
Keep a close watch for the unmistakable blow of whales as they surface to breathe, and perhaps the mesmerising sight of a tail fluke as it takes a deep dive
Marvel at the ancient geology of East Greenland, where mountains are painted in stripes by nature’s brush and fjords are surrounded by walls of various shades of pinks, oranges and purple
Learn about the history and culture of the Inuit, who have inhabited this region for centuries
Experience the thrill of adventure and exploration, as you sail to remote and rarely visited parts of the world
