Panorama Photo

The flight LH446 took me from Frankfurt to Denver. We flew quit far north since there was a low pressure system over Island (I did not even see a tiny bit of the island). Entering Greenland we passed a few fjords on the right-hand side and came across the last mountain tops a few minutes later. The view goes southward; the plain was moving approx. NE to SW. The horizon (the sea) was completely under a cloud cover (hence I removed it from the picture), dry air over the central ice-cap freed the nunatakers framing the huge glaciers free from mist and moisture.

Within the last one or two days it was possible for me to more the less pinpoint my position – I hope I am right; I will take up alternative suggestions with pleasure. I know the entrance trajectory of the plain over Greenland from taking a picture of the on-board information system after taking these pictures (I did not use my GPS and the exact flight path in unfortunately not longer available on the inter-net). Consequently I know that we flew in over King Christian IX land and comparing the land cover you can see with different maps and udeuschle – models I came to the conclusion that we look at the northernmost part of Schweizerland with the Paris Gletscher and the Mount Forel group – one of the highest mountain tops in Greenland.

As already mentioned, I am open to alternative suggestions; my localization attempt is just an educated guess …

I think this is the first Greenland picture on pp.
