The transition from the German coastline into the vast blue of the Baltic.
Gotland and Öland

Stockholm Archipelago
A mosaic of over 30,000 islands and islets during the descent into Arlanda airport.
The right side is essential for the arrival into Stockholm; the archipelago is one of the world's most beautiful landing views. In winter, the frozen Baltic Sea creates a unique white-and-blue landscape that is best captured from this side.
