Sognefjord Entrance
Views looking north toward the mouth of Norway's longest and deepest fjord shortly after departure.
Vatnajökull Glacier
Europe's largest ice cap visible on the horizon as the flight approaches the eastern coast of Iceland.
Icelandic Highlands
The rugged, uninhabited interior of Iceland, featuring ancient volcanic craters and stark tundra.
Reykjavik View
A distant view of the world's northernmost capital city and the Faxaflói Bay during the descent.
Northern Lights
The best side for viewing the Aurora Borealis during night flights in the winter months (September to March).
The right side is highly recommended for night flights to maximize your chances of spotting the Northern Lights. During the day, keep your eyes peeled about 30-40 minutes before landing to spot the massive ice caps of Iceland. Morning departures from Bergen are best for catching the light hitting the Norwegian coastal mountains.
