Nuuk Harbour

Description

Nuuk Harbour

Nuuk Harbour is Greenland’s largest and most active port.  The port is a vital base for fishing and hunting, central to local culture. The harbor offers views of the vast Nuup Kangerlua fjord and the distinctive Sermitsiaq mountain peak. It’s also a major hub for spotting Humpback whales and often hosts the traditional Qajaq rolling competitions.

This window was directly designed off a photograph of Nuuk Harbour.  The Sermitsiaq mountains are plated to give a depth of ice and snow over blue mountains.  The waters are plated in areas in order to create a darker blue for depth.
