What does the Panama City to Mosjoen flight path pass over?

Transatlantic routing crosses the Atlantic basin at cruise altitude (typically 35,000-37,000 feet). Around 6-7 hours into flight, the aircraft passes south of Greenland's ice sheet (visible as a bright white expanse on clear days, though often obscured by cloud cover). The route then approaches Iceland's airspace before turning northeast toward the Norwegian Sea. At cruise altitude, the curvature of Earth becomes apparent, and the Atlantic appears as a vast, featureless gray-blue ocean with occasional weather systems visible as cloud formations. The final 2-3 hours approach the Norwegian coast with the Scandinavian mountains becoming visible as distant peaks on the horizon before descent into the Mosjoen fjord region.
