Top 13 Best Views from the Air

September 26, 2017 by Mr. Smile Leave a Comment

In the past one year we have taken a total of 91 flights across all continents and saw some really beautiful views from the air. Here are some of the best ones that we took with our phone to share with you:

No.13 – Tierra del Fuego, Argentina

This was a flight from El Calafate to Tierra del Fuego in Argentina, right before landing. 


 

No.12 – New York, USA

Skyline of New York! Simply amazing! 


No.11 – Galapagos Island, Ecuador

From capital Quito to Galapagos, which is famous due to Darwin. Before landing we could see all the islands lining up. I was wondering how many animals species are living on those islands! 


No.10 – El Calafate, Argentina

From Bariloche to El Calafate, before landing – the view of Lago Argentino just beside the airport.


No. 9 – Atacama Desert, Chile

From capital Santiago to Calama airport, right before landing – you can see the wild vast Atacama Desert, with wind power facilities.


No. 8 – Pyramid near Cairo, Egypt

From Addis Ababa, Ethiopia to Cairo, Egypt – before landing when passing through the west bank of Cairo, you could see the pyramid groups! How exciting!


No. 7 – Punta Uvita, Cost Rica

From San Jose to Osa Peninsula, we passed by this Punta Uvita which is so much like fishtail.

 

 

No.6 – Glacier Grey, Parque Nacional Torres del Paine, Chile

From southern end of Chile (Puntas Arenas) to Santiago, I purposely chose a window seat on the right side, in order to view the famous “Glacier Grey”, which I didn’t have chance to go when hiking in Paine National Park.

 

No.5 – The Alps, Switzerland

From Athens to London, when we passed through Switzerland, the broadcast from the captain made me eye to the left – endless Alps snow-covered peaks with dark blue sky and lagoons: Just magnificent!

No.4 – Doha, Qatar

Mid-night flight from Doha to Shiraz, Iran – right after take-off, we flew right past the central commercial district where there are beautifully designed skyscrapers lighting up the sky of Doha!

No.3 – Corcovado National Park, Costa Rica

This was the same flight from San Jose to Peninsula Osa. After passing Punta Uvita, we entered Corcovado National Park on Peninsula Osa. This is an area which has the second most biodiversity in the world after Amazons – you can imagine how many different species of animals/plants are in there!

No.2 – Sabancaya Volcano, Peru

From Arequipa to Cusco, if the weather is good and you’re seating on the right side, you can see a series of 4,000m+ snow-covered peaks and volcanoes. This active Sabancaya Volcano was the one which impressed me the most!

No.1 – Mountain Kilimanjaro, Tanzania

Except the fact that the view is amazing, it is also the highest peak (5895m) in Africa continent – this is why it ranked No.1 on my list! This is on the flight from Dar es Salaam, Tanzania to Nairobi, Kenya. If you want to see this view, please make sure you get a window seat on the left side!

 

Where do you see the best view from the air?

Who is Mr. Smile?

After working in Singapore for 4 years, Hank is amazed by how big the world is and how rich different cultures are. Thus, he decided to quit his professional job and started a round-the-world trip with Miss Smile Christine to explore the continents where they've never been to.
