DESCRIPTION
Calling aspiring photographers. WorldNomads.com and National Geographic Channel are giving one aspiring photographer the opportunity to accompany renowned wildlife and natural history photographer, Jason Edwards, on assignment in Greenland. Find out firsthand what life is like in the field for a travel photographer and learn the tricks of the trade during this 10-day mentorship experience.
Ever wondered what it would be like on assignment as a National Geographic photographer?
This is your chance to go to Greenland and be mentored by Nat Geo veteran and host of National Geographic Channel's Pure Photography series, Jason Edwards!
Rough. Real. Remote. Greenland has been beckoning intrepid spirits for thousands of years and for many feels like a place you've known, but never been. It is the land of adventure that celebrates raw nature and deep cultural traditions.
Explore this stunning country with an 10-day custom itinerary with Visit Greenland and Destination Arctic Circle. Begin your assignment in the Kangerlussuaq community before flying along the rugged edge of the nearby ice cap to the Russell Glacier. You’ll spend the next two days and nights exploring the majestic Russell Glacier - hiking, and shooting along the various ridges. Next, you’ll set up camp near a lake in the rolling hills of the highlands in search of musk oxen and arctic hare (and maybe even a shy reindeer!)
