Green skies over Greenland

Hidden in the faraway fjords of South Greenland are massive glaciers, beautiful emerald lakes, and sharp granite peaks. I joined a sailing expedition to explore this remote corner of the world in mid-September, embarking on land with a zodiac boat every night in the hope of being greeted by the Northern Lights. Three nights we were lucky with strong solar winds. This is an impression of what we got to witness: Lady Aurora, dancing gracefully in the sky above us, revealing the beauty of the universe in all its glory.

Based in The Netherlands, I am an writer and photographer with a love for patterns and geometries. I have been an observer for as long as I remember, and my camera now feels like a natural extension that helps me to capture and share the beauty of the world in images.
