🏙️

Northern German Cities

Bird's-eye views of urban centers like Hamburg or Hanover depending on the specific air corridor.

🧊

Vatnajökull Glacier

Europe's largest glacier by volume, visible as a massive white expanse as you reach Iceland.

💎

Jökulsárlón Lagoon

Look for the tiny blue dots of icebergs floating in the famous glacial lagoon near the coast.

🏔️

Skaftafell Mountains

Sharp mountain ridges and glacial tongues carving through the Icelandic landscape.

🌌

Aurora Borealis

On night flights during winter months, this side faces north, offering the best chance to spot the Northern Lights.

Book a seat on the right for the most iconic views of Iceland's glaciers. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the ice from the south. In winter, keep your window shade open and the cabin lights low to maximize your chances of seeing the Aurora.
