Aisle Seat Please

Flying Over The Ilulissat Icefjord

As the name of my travel photoblog suggests, I do typically prefer the aisle seat in airplanes. But there are exceptions to every rule. Is the flight under 2 hours and am I super super sleepy? Or is there something incredibly cool I want to see out the window? Well, a window seat might just be in the cards then! I'd have to say flying over a ginormous UNESCO World Heritage Site such as the Ilulissat Icefjord definitely qualifies for window seat photos.

Seeing icebergs, be it from the air, land or sea, is truly a...moving experience. You can look out the window of your hotel room, see some icebergs, and then the next day, those same icebergs will have moved further through the fjord. It's always hard to judge the size of these things without something to put them in perspective, but, let's just say they tend to be much larger than you would expect at times.
