Greenland’s saturated sunsets and deep blue waters can challenge even the best painter’s palette, but Greenland can also be quite stunning in black and white. The chiaroscuro effect adds an element of mystery and enchantment, and at times it can be downright eerie!
So, as a complement to the photo gallery, Colourful Greenland, here I present to you some of my best black and white shots. They are old, but evergreen.

The way you have presented the topic is very attractive 🙂
Everything stand out in pure white background.
Thank you!
Great photos. They work really well in b&w. Stunning land and seascapes.
Thank you!
Amazing. Do you work there?
Thanks for all the likes!
Yes, I work for the national tourist board in Nuuk, called Visit Greenland. But I don’t live in Greenland yet, so for now I travel back and forth between the US and Greenland.
Cheers!
