We flew from Copenhagen and back again in Air Greenland's A330

Greenland's East coast from 30,000ft - the icebergs here must be massive

Calving from the ice sheet

Glacial flows can easily be seen at the edge of the ice sheet

Coming in to land at Nuuk we flew down the Nuuk Fjord

A frozen tarn

It was weird flying between mountains in such a large plane

We were just below the peaks

This was the Royal Danish Navy, not the Americans

Glaciers spilling into a valley - on the West coast as we later flew up from Nuuk to Ilulissat

We had a refuelling stop at Aasiaat - it's a small one room terminal, arrivals is the door on the right, and departures the door on the left

All of the internal flights in Greenland are in one of their eight Dash 8s - there are no roads at all between towns

The Aasilat to Ilulissat leg took us over Disko Bay and we saw many icebergs

Cloud on the windward side

Cliffs and a tower

A standalone tower

Its amazing that 90% is underwater

Coming in to Ilulissat

These icebergs are at the mouth of the Ilulissat Icefjord

It's an incredible sight
