Hi! I’m Nina. I’m a travel & wildlife photographer based in Vancouver, British Columbia. I picked up my first camera over 10 years ago to document my outdoor adventures; now I am a full-time freelance creator with a passion for natural history, anything to do with the Arctic, and sharing my experiences through the lens of my camera.

GREENLAND // I journeyed 600km NORTH of the Arctic Circle to a heart-shaped island named Uummannaq
A heart-shaped mountain stands tall above this remote island located so far above the Arctic Circle, the Fjord surrounding it freezes during the winter, making it possible to actually walk on water!
Uummannaq is a photographers DREAM. Towering mountains as far as the eye can see, and the ability to walk on the frozen ocean makes this my favourite travel experience so to date.
Special thanks to @visitgreenland for hosting me on this trip. I used their website to help me research Greenland before I travelled there and it was super helpful.

There's an island off the coast of Iceland where locals throw baby puffins (pufflings) off of cliffs! Wild right? The good news is, this is actually beneficial to the pufflings.

The only thing I don't like about Jones lake is all the stumps around the perimeter. It really ruins the esthetics of the place. Very unfortunate. 😢
just added this destination to my bucket list
Did you go to Greenland twice? Here you say the camping is only open June - September but you also stayed at Igloo Lodge in April.
Yes I did! First visit was September 2023 and second was April 2024
@NinaDefilla Thank you, did you have a preference out of the two trips?
What month did you go in?
I believe this was in late September or early October
super informative video!!!
I'm glad you found it helpful! 😊
I have attacked Assiniboi twice. The first time was on January 6, 1996 with two very experienced climbers and in early August 2002 with my son. We rented a helicopter both times. In January, we were greeted by 120 km/h winds, heavy snowfall and -35 C at the top of the shelter. Climbing Assiniboi would have been suicide. In August, we were greeted by nice weather but 30 cm of snow fell at night. In both cases, this area is beautiful and I recommend it.
Hey loved this video!! I am also a solo female backpacker but get a bit nervous. Thanks for honest tips and being bear aware without ultra fearful!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching ☺️
Thank you for this review honestly no one has MEC reviews
You’re welcome! Happy to help ☺️

Hello, We are the team from the new variety show "Living in Finland's rented room" on tvN, a South Korean television network. Our program was filmed this summer in Kemijärvi and Posio in Finnish Lapland with famous korean actors like Cha Eun-woo, Kwak Dong-yeon, Lee Je-hoon and Lee Dong-hwi. We would like to inquire about using this video on our show. The videos will be used to introduce the feature of Finland sauna. I would appreciate it if you could reply regarding the use of the source. Thank you
Hello beautiful girl, you shoot and edit well!
Wow - Nina this is so super cool, what an adventure!!!
Whaaat, i'm subscribed and youtube only just showed me this video! Am excited to watch :)
Really nice! Hope you enjoyed your day on Gornergrat. But it’s quite expensive and I sadly never saw the Matterhorn due to the clouds in Zermatt, so keep that in mind. Weather forecast is nearly unpredictably - you see a sun in your app, go there and it’s a day full of cloud and sometimes a little bit of rain.
Love this viedeo ❤ Is this tunnel bluffs ?
Hoped to hear what they souded like. Music cant be better then the sound of the animals and birds lol. Great feeding frenzy.
No vids of puffins flying away after you threw them over.... just you....too bad...
This color is amazing! I got it too 🩶
Can you give it to me? Please.
I’m sorry I had to laugh cause the box seemed so big when you picked it up. I said wtf is this before you said it. I’m a big person so the pro max looks like a normal phone in my hand 😂.
lol yeah I have small hands
Congratulations on the new device ❤❤
Thanks! Stoked to share more soon

Wow, what an amazing adventure to Uummannaq! Travelling 600km north of the Arctic Circle and getting to walk on a frozen ocean sounds like a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The landscapes are absolutly stunning, and it’s clear why it’s a photographer's dream. Thanks for sharing this incredible trip, totaly inspiring me to visit Greenland one day!
Thanks for watching! It was an incredible trip 😍 happy you liked the video and feel inspired to visit Greenland too 🙌
That is so epic. Looks really beautiful. How did your tech gear/ photo gear hold up?
It was! My camera gear did just fine. Since I was there during the end of winter it was a bit warmer. Temps around 0 to -10C at the coldest.

Nice editing. I prefer watching shorter vids. I hope your channel will continue to grow. That mountain reminds me of my fav yotutuber Foresty Forest.
Thank you! When you say short videos, how short do you mean?
10 to 20 mins just like this one.
Good vibes Neen 😊
Thanks!
Those views 🥰 ❤📷💕
