On our flight from Philadelphia to Paris, we departed in darkness and arrived in heavy snow, so we didn’t see much other than the lights on the wingtips. On the way home, though, we had clear skies and bright sun almost the whole way. The pilot called our attention to the coast of Greenland as we passed over at 38,000 feet. Kathryn, who had the window seat, grabbed the camera and took this photo.
Kathryn had the window seat and took this photo as we flew just off the coast of Greenland.
Views like this remind us just how screwed we’d be if an airplane lost both engines out here over the North Atlantic.

Kathryn takes the best photos!
No doubt. Now she wants a new camera, something better than a point-and-shoot. I’m warming up to the idea.
Nice photos! It looks much different at ground level! We went to Greenland a few years ago during the summer and the midge flies were terrible!
Greenland isn’t on my must-see list. I briefly considered doing a day trip from Iceland many years ago, but in the end I chose to spend the day seeing geysers and waterfalls instead. So this is the best view I’ve had of Greenland from an aircraft flying overhead.
