PULSE-POUNDING LANDINGS
Princess Juliana
International
Airport, Saint
Martin
Ladies and gentlemen,
fasten your seatbelts and
wave to the sunbathers.
Don’t be surprised if you
hear this announcement
as you land. The Saint
Martin island offers a
unique low-altitude
landing exceptionally

Flying just a few feet
above cool blue waters
and cheery tourists
in swimsuits—fun or
frightening? You decide!
Ice Runway, Antarctica
It’s like landing a plane inside the movie “Frozen.”But

glistening wintry landscape and touch down on a sea-ice
runway strip called “Blue Ice.” This one of kind flight can
be experienced only during the short summer when the
sea-ice breaks out.
