Øksfjordjøkelen Glacier
Mainland Europe's only glacier that calves icebergs directly into the sea, visible shortly after departing Alta.
Lyngen Alps
Breathtaking views of jagged mountain peaks rising 1,800 meters straight from the deep blue fjords.
Altafjord
Aerial perspective of the historic fjord system and the winding coastline of the Finnmark region.
Finnmark Plateau
Expansive views of the high-altitude arctic tundra and remote mountain lakes inland.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sunrise illuminate the Lyngen peaks. During winter, this side is excellent for viewing the moon reflecting off the snow-covered mountains. Keep your camera ready about 10-15 minutes into the flight for the glacier.

Uninterrupted views of the vast Barents Sea and the horizon of the North Atlantic.
Sørøya Island
Views of Norway's fourth-largest island, known for its rugged outer coastline and steep sea cliffs.
Tromsøya
A bird's-eye view of the city of Tromsø, the Arctic Cathedral, and the main bridge during the final approach.
