Aerial view of the highly mountainous Upernivik Island, Greenland. Photographed from the Air Greenland de Havilland Canada Dash-7 during the Ilulissat-Upernavik flight. Dead Serminnguaq glacier on the far left, southwestern cape and Uummannaq Fjord on the right. The cape is unusual in that the meeting shorelines are close to straight, and the angle is close to right, at circa 100 degrees.
