Snæfellsnes Peninsula
On clear days, see the iconic Snæfellsjökull glacier in the distance to the north.
East Greenland Peaks
Witness some of the most dramatic and inaccessible mountain terrain on Earth upon entering Greenland airspace.
Greenland Ice Sheet
A mesmerizing, endless expanse of white ice that covers the majority of the island's interior.
Sermitsiaq Mountain
The landmark mountain of Nuuk, known for its distinctive shape, visible during the final approach.
The East Greenland mountain entry is the highlight; be ready about 1 hour after takeoff. The lighting is generally better on this side for photography as the sun is to the south. Look for the 'Inland Ice' where the white plateau meets the jagged coastal mountains.

Reykjanes Peninsula
View the fresh lava fields and volcanic craters of southwest Iceland immediately after departure.
Irminger Sea
The deep blue waters of the North Atlantic between Iceland and Greenland, often dotted with icebergs near the coast.
South Greenland Glaciers
Visible glacial flows and frozen coastal fjords as the plane nears the southern tip of the island.
Nuuk Cityscape
A view of the world's smallest capital city nestled against the backdrop of the massive fjord system.
Great for views of Iceland's volcanic activity during takeoff. During winter months, this side offers the best chance to see the Aurora Borealis over the dark Atlantic. Keep an eye out for icebergs in the fjords during the descent.
