Altafjord Views
Immediate views of the deep fjord and surrounding snow-capped peaks right after takeoff.
Seiland National Park
Stunning vistas of the Seilandsjøkelen glacier and high alpine peaks rising from the sea.
Stjernøya Island
Rugged, rocky landscapes jutting out of the Barents Sea with unique geological formations.
Sørøysundet
The deep strait separating the mainland and Seiland from the massive island of Sørøya.
Sit on the left for the best views of the glaciers on Seiland. During winter, this side is ideal for spotting the Northern Lights over the Barents Sea. Since the flight is typically under 30 minutes, keep your camera ready from the moment of takeoff as the best scenery appears almost immediately.

Finnmark Plateau
The vast, rolling tundra of the interior Finnmarksvidda stretching towards the eastern horizon.
Repparfjord
A scenic fjord known for its salmon and the rugged terrain of the Porsanger Peninsula.
Melkøya LNG Plant
The massive, glowing industrial complex of the LNG plant located on an island just outside Hammerfest.
Hammerfest Town
A bird's-eye view of one of the world's northernmost cities nestled between mountains and sea during descent.
The right side is superior for seeing the town of Hammerfest and the impressive Melkøya facility during the final approach. Morning flights provide better lighting for the mainland terrain, while the low polar sun in late autumn creates dramatic shadows across the plateau.
