The flight path crosses the Atlantic Ocean with limited visible landmarks during cruise. Passengers may glimpse the southern tip of Greenland (Kap Farvel) if flying a more northerly routing, though this is typically at the edge of visibility. The North Atlantic itself offers open ocean views with occasional cloud formations and, in clear conditions, the curvature of the Earth becoming subtly apparent at 35,000 feet. As the aircraft approaches European airspace, the southern coast of Iceland may be visible on northerly routing variations, followed by the Norwegian coast and North Sea before reaching Danish airspace.
