Trondheim & Fjord
Aerial views of Trondheim city and the winding Trondheimsfjord immediately after takeoff from Værnes.
Vatnajökull Glacier
Europe's largest ice cap appearing as a vast white dome as you enter Icelandic airspace.
Jökulsárlón Lagoon
The famous glacier lagoon where icebergs break off from Breiðamerkurjökull and float toward the ocean.
Vík's Black Sand Beaches
The dramatic contrast between the dark volcanic sands and the white Atlantic surf along the southern coastline.
Eyjafjallajökull
The infamous glacier-capped volcano that caused global aviation disruption in 2010.
Westman Islands
A cluster of volcanic islands, including Heimaey and Surtsey, visible off the south coast during the descent.
Book a window seat on the left (Port) side for the most iconic views. During the winter, this side catches the low southern sun, providing excellent lighting for photography. On the final approach into KEF, keep your eyes peeled for the rugged lava fields of the Reykjanes Peninsula. For morning flights, the sun will be behind you or to the side, reducing glare.

On clear days, you may see the northern fringes of the Vatnajökull glacier and the Highlands of Iceland in the distance.
