What does the Toronto to Warsaw flight path pass over?

The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean with no visible landmarks for approximately 4-5 hours. Over the eastern Atlantic (west of Ireland and UK), passengers may see the Irish coastline, Celtic Sea, and UK landmass if conditions permit. Crossing into European airspace, the flight passes over or near the UK, North Sea, and Scandinavia before turning south toward Poland. The North Sea, English Channel, and continental European coastlines are potential viewing areas depending on exact routing, but the majority of the transatlantic segment offers only open ocean.
