Greenlandic Seasons

Greenlandic Seasons Cover Photo
The Disko Bay Area on the west coast of Greenland is at the heart of a unique and spectacular Arctic environment. The traveller will experience rising mountains, rushing streams, lush shrublands, and calving glaciers, pushing giant chunks of ice into the sea.

In this photo book, the photographer and writer Bo Normander invites the reader to explore the diversity of nature and climate in a unique part of the Arctic. Roughly one fourth of Greenland’s population lives in the Disko Bay Area. The area is known not only for its natural beauty and the many icebergs, but also as a hub for the global climate debate, as climate change is particularly visible here with rising temperatures and increased melting of the Greenland ice sheet.

With this book in hand, you will get an exclusive insight into Greenland’s nature and climate across the changing seasons and with a look into the changes likely to happen in the near future.

About the book

Introduction to Greenlandic Seasons

Discover the awe-inspiring Disko Bay area on Greenland’s west coast with Greenlandic Seasons, a breathtaking photo book by photographer and writer Bo Normander. 

The book showcases the region’s unique Arctic environment, where rising mountains, rushing streams, and lush shrublands meet calving glaciers that push giant chunks of ice into the sea. This remarkable part of Greenland is home to a quarter of the country’s population.

Explore the breathtaking Disko Bay

The Disko Bay area provides a front-row seat to nature’s grandeur and the pressing issue of climate change. As temperatures rise and the Greenland ice sheet continues to melt, both local communities and the surrounding ecosystem are adapting to the changing conditions. 

In Greenlandic Seasons, you will experience first-hand how these changes are reshaping the lives of those who call this place home, and the magnificent beauty that attracts travellers from around the world.

Through beautiful images and personal stories, Greenlandic Seasons shows that there is much more to Greenland than cold and ice. The photo book shows that across the seasons there are also bright summer days with midnight sun, lush valleys and abundant wildlife.
