Norwegian Fjords
Breathtaking views of the Hardangerfjord and surrounding snow-capped peaks immediately after takeoff.
Southern Coastline
Aerial perspective of the fragmented islands and rocky skerries near Stavanger and Kristiansand.
Jutland Peninsula
The transition from the Skagerrak sea to the flat, green agricultural patchwork of western Denmark.
Port of Hamburg
