On June 30, 2005, I returned from a trip to Italy and was fortunate in that it was a day-time flight, that I had a window seat on the right side of the aircraft, and that the window itself was free from scratches. Half-way through the nine hour flight we crossed the southern tip of Greenland, and the views were heart-stopping all during the entire seventeen minutes it took to cross the island. Here are the best from the 30 images shot from 33,000 feet. All images created with a Nikon D70 and a VR 24-120 f/3.5 lens.
