The flight path crosses the Arctic Ocean north of Alaska, passes over northern Canada (Canadian Arctic Archipelago), crosses Greenland's ice sheet (visible as a vast white expanse at altitude), then proceeds over the North Atlantic. The Greenland ice sheet is the most notable midpoint feature—a brilliant white landscape covering thousands of square miles, visible for 2-3 hours of flight time. The flight then crosses the Atlantic with no significant landmarks until approaching European airspace, where the British Isles and North Sea become visible before the final descent into Frankfurt.
