Beautiful summer photos. In the winter b/w works just as well as color. 
Boy, it is cold in the arctic.

Love these pictures.. The landscape is very interesting
Thank you for sharing your comments
Can anyone link me to a site where I can see how a milky way is situation on the sky on the northern hemisphere?
I took these two nights ago (uploaded in half size due to very slow internet connection up here):
My favourite aurora shot Just a surreal experience. With reflections in the water. Taken with Sony A7, Walimex 14mm f/2.8, ISO 1600 and 20s
Here is one together with an overexposed moon. It looks nice I think! Like being on another planet...

The photos are lovely - something so oddly stark and fresh about the place - having been hiding up there and mostly under ice for so long.
Funniest part is that the 'ironic' name ol Erik the Red gave it hoping to bring more settlers there is seemingly more true lately than it used to be - 'green' is actually a color appearing on more parts of the island, even if just a little arctic moss or hardy weeds! Back in Erik's day, calling it Greenland seemed sort of like an early equivalent of selling Florida swampland by advertising beaches! Now, there's more non-glaciated land to actually settle on!

I have always loved the FE 55mm, but after this trip I am really loving the FE 35mm. It is tiny sharp and doesn't give me unwanted aberrations. There is vignetting that is easily removed.
I am also immensely enjoying my Walimex 14mm f/2.8 for those night shots especially. I just wish I had brought something long. Around 200mm with AF and OSS.
Here's some more shots. The scenery here invites to shoot all the time!
Left over from an abandoned American base
My best sunset photo ever. Probably not the theoretical best compositions, but it captures everything I wanted to be there in the shot
The rocks show some amazing textures. Here's a tiny waterfall convenient to refill your water bottle on a tiring hike in the completely wild nature
The Milky Way is almost impossible to get a good shot of - because of the charged sky (so many auroras!) Any good ideas out there?
Pretty amazing auroras!

Awesome to see something so isolated, yet still part of the western world.
They should have called it Rockland instead of Greenland....
In the shot of the houses up close, I'm seeing a number of animals. Fluffy light yellow things. Are those all dogs?

Yes, quite fascinating.
Yes, quite a few tied down sleigh dogs around. When there is snow their pelt gets all white again. Right now they just look dirty and are tied down all day. There was a guy in this village who last winter won the yearly sleigh dog race.
