24 May 2013 - The Way Home

Since our flight was early in the morning, we had time to pass at the airport, so here are some pictures of the area surrounding Glasgow Airport. The weather had improved considerably since yesterday and looked promising for our flight home.

 

The flight was smooth and everyone was watching the in-flight movie with the shades down when the pilot announced that we were just passing over Greenland if we wanted to look. The views were stunning - the pictures say it all ...

 

The plane was at 40,000 feet so it's difficult to guage the scale of the mountains and valleys we were looking at, but it stretched to our horizon ...

And right below us was a glacier flowing into a lake - you can see the icebergs calving off the main glacier and another one flowing in from the north side. Spectacular!

A wonderful end to a wonderful vacation!
