I could not enter enough Wows to express my appreciation of the images.

For the first image, i'd like even more noise in sky above the iceberg, i like the grittiness.

For the reflected aurora, which is a great image, perhaps you could make it more abstract by cropping out the left top corner, focusing more on the aurora reflection and the immediate background.

And like Elsa, i'd really like to go to Greenland once. It appears we have found our Mr. Tour guide  ;D

The first one is indeed stunning.  You captured the unique feature of it really well.  The second on is simply awesome!

I wonder if the iceberg seen at the top left corner of the second image is the very same iceberg in the first one.

Not the same lump of ice Akira. They were some hundred kilometres apart.

Thanks, Sten, for the confirmation.  The shapes of their peaks looked similar.   :o

Triple applause for the iceberg. It looks like the iceberg prototype of all times.
The ship window is attractive as well.

The iceberg is such a beauty! It immediately touched me!

I also like the window pic, I feel you take me on a ride with you, which I really enjoy.
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.

Very striking photos!  #2 looks like a long exposure, yet also like an oblique aerial view.  Were you on a mountain across the fjord?  Magical to have the water so calm.  What time of year were you there? Please post more!  Cheers,  John

Thanks all for the positive reception  :)
A little more info:
These images were made during a geological excursion in 2011 - led by the danish institute GEUS. Very professional people!
Needless to say we all had a blast. We encountered both musk ox, polar bear, hare, flying things, sail boat, and what have you. It is truly a magical part of the globe and the shear scale of things is breathtaking.
The images are all captured with a D3 and basically three lenses, the venerable 16/3.5 fisheye, the temperamental Ai-S 35/1.4 and the somewhat underdog one - 70-300/4.5-5.6 VR. The second and thirds pics were captured from our plane en route to our destination. More pictures to come.

Again, brilliant photos. Particularly like the second of these. But I know the atmospherics you've captured in the first and third and like those also.  Great to see not-blue-sky photos of the polar world!
