Greenland Glaciers
Stunning views of the massive ice sheet, jagged fjords, and icebergs along the southern coast.
Labrador Wilderness
The raw, untamed beauty of the Canadian Shield with its thousands of lakes and rocky outcrops.
North Sea Shipping
Active maritime lanes with cargo ships and tankers visible shortly after leaving Amsterdam.
Iceberg Alley
During spring and early summer, look for white specks of icebergs floating off the coast of Labrador.
Toronto Skyline
A panoramic view of the CN Tower and downtown core during the downwind leg for runway 24L or 24R.
Greenland is the highlight; look out approximately 4 to 5 hours into the flight. The right side is generally shielded from direct sunlight on this route, making it superior for photography. On arrival, this side usually offers a better view of the Toronto skyline if the plane circles for a westward landing.

The left side often faces the sun on this westbound route, which can result in significant glare. However, it provides the best view of the St. Lawrence River. Keep your window shade down during the mid-flight to avoid the intense high-altitude sun.
