Greenlandic Seasons

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. This visually stunning collection 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. In this remarkable part of Greenland, roughly one fourth of the country’s population lives amidst a landscape that has become a global focal point for the climate debate.
