East and West Greenland
Flickr user just_pix_it posted this set of images from a flight across Greenland. The series starts with a pair of images from the northern reaches of East Greenland, showing an area known as Hinks Land, named for Arthur Robert Hinks, chairman of the British Royal Geographic Society in the early 20th century.
This image presents a wider view of Hinks Land, with the Daugaard-Jensen Glacier visible in the background near the top of the image.

Upernavik Glacier, West Greenland
We now travel about 900 km west, passing over Greenland's inland icecap and reaching the western coast. In this image, we see the Upernavik Glacier in the right-center, flowing into Upernavik Fjord. In the center foreground is the frozen Lake Qajartoriaq.
