23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Drone/Aerial
Uummannaq at Sunset

While visiting the remote island off of Greenland's west coast, I knew the focal point of the island was the iconic heart-shaped mountain. I went to Uummannaq specifically to experiences it's remoteness, authenticity to Greenlandic locals and hopefully to drone this earthly marvel. Satellite coverage was challenging that the drone kept losing connection, but I perservered. It was a lovely evening with a golden light with the sun setting on the iconic mountain.
