Exhibition: Harry Opstrup • Impressions from Greenland

"It was so cold and quiet you could hear a snow-bunting more than a mile away."
That's how Harry Opstrup described his meeting with the striking silence and tranquility of the Greenlandic nature.
The exhibited photographs were taken, during a series of photo expeditions to Greenland, which he made in the late 1970s. His visits stretched from Uummannaq in the north to Qaqortoq in the south, on the west coast of Greenland.
