Korean Peninsula
The mountainous backbone of South Korea stretching toward the horizon as you head north.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the sun illuminates the Japanese and Korean coastlines. Look for Tsushima Island roughly 20-25 minutes after takeoff; it is a major landmark on this route. On a clear day, you can see the contrast between the rugged mountains of the interior and the dense coastal cities.
