Making landfall on a ReykjavÃk to Toronto flight, near the town of Nain, the northernmost settlement in Labrador. The telltale mark of a snowmobile track is visible. Shooting on a clear day from high altitude, the rocks are carved in blue, like a piece of Chinese porcelain.
This was the eighth time I’d crossed of the Atlantic in my lifetime. On every previous trip, I’d longed to see the Greenland icecap, but I’d never caught so much as a glimpse through banks of cloud. I assumed this time would be no different, as it was cloudy all the way from London to ReykjavÃk, and then after a change of planes, cloudy again on take off.
Remarkably, however, the clouds broke just a few hundred metres shy of the ice-floes on Greenland’s almost uninhabited East Coast. For the entire width of the vast island, I had wonderful views of distant mountains, icy islands, and slush-filled fjords. Then, a few hundred metres off the west coast, the cloud cover started again.
It felt like a miracle – although I’m sure a meteorologist could explain it all to me! It wasn’t just clear: the air was absolutely translucent. Then, later, after a fog-filled Labrador Sea, I got some more lovely views of Labrador through ethereal skies.
Taking photos through an aeroplane window is a moveable feast… this Icelandair machine had a few ugly spots between the panes of plastic, which are particularly obtrusive on shots I took into the Sun. But I wouldn’t have missed this particular plane-borne photoshoot for the world.

Google maps reveals that this body of water is the unfortunately named Kauk Bight (nope, no teeth) with Kauk Bluff island just across it. That might be Palungitak island at the far upper right and that's certainly the large Paul Island at the left in the distance. www.google.com/maps/@56.5120854,-61.7217303,14976m/data=!... I've heard or read that every step on the moss all around here damages it, but I won't deny that it's fun to walk on. Every step is like walking on a big, bouncy mattress.
