Résumé :	An aerial survey conducted in early June 1999 in west Greenland, between 62o and 72oN latitude, provided breeding pair estimates of 4,314 (+-785 SE) Greater White-fronted Geese (Anser albifrons flavirostris) and 2,631 (+-897 SE) Canada Geese (Branta canadensis). Only one pair of Canada Geese and no White-fronted Geese were observed on transects south of 66o 45' N. Mean densities of White-fronted (0.28 pairs/km2) and Canada Geese (0.25 pairs/km2), were highest in the Kangerlussuaq region (66o 55'-67o 30' N). North of this region, primarily in the area from 67o 30' N to the southern portion of Disko Bay (68o 40' N), densities declined to 0.11 pairs/km2 for White-fronted Geese and 0.03 pairs/km2 for Canada Geese. Few breeding pairs (
