Skagen & Grenen
The northernmost tip of Denmark where the Skagerrak and Kattegat seas meet in a visible line.
Shetland Islands
Clear days offer a glimpse of the remote northern UK archipelago during the mid-flight cruise.
Sørvágsvatn Lake
The iconic 'lake above the ocean' appearing to hang over the Atlantic cliffs on final approach.
Mykines Island
The westernmost island famous for its puffin colonies and dramatic lighthouse silhouette.
Trælanípa Cliffs
Sheer vertical sea cliffs that rise 142 meters directly out of the ocean near the runway.
The right side is essential for the legendary approach into Vagar Airport. To see the 'optical illusion' of Lake Sørvágsvatn, you must be on this side during the final three minutes of flight. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern faces of the cliffs.
