Port of Rotterdam
The largest seaport in Europe, showcasing the industrial scale of the Maasvlakte 2 terminal.

Expansive arrays of wind turbines like the London Array appearing as white dots in the blue sea.

Morning flights are best for the right side to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun. Look out for the massive container ships at the Port of Rotterdam shortly after reaching cruising altitude. This side is superior for those interested in the rural landscapes of East Anglia and industrial maritime activity.
