What does the Malaga to Miami flight path pass over?

The flight crosses the Atlantic at high altitude. Notable waypoints include the Strait of Gibraltar region (visible on departure if climbing northbound initially), the Azores islands (far north of typical routing), and the mid-Atlantic ridge area. Most of the transatlantic portion occurs at cruise altitude (35,000+ feet) where individual landmarks are not distinctly visible. As the aircraft approaches North America, the Bahamas archipelago becomes visible—shallow turquoise banks and island chains are distinctive from altitude. The approach to Miami brings views of the Florida peninsula, the Everglades wetlands, and Biscayne Bay.
