Search flights from ARH to CSH
Northern Dvina Delta
A complex network of hundreds of islands and winding river channels forming the largest delta in the Russian North.
Solovetsky Monastery
The iconic white stone walls and dark domes of the Kremlin appear like a fortress rising from the sea on descent.
Anzersky Island Sketes
Spot the remote religious retreats and historical sketes located on the northernmost islands of the archipelago.
White Sea Ice Floes
In winter and early spring, the sea below is a stunning mosaic of shifting ice patterns and deep blue leads.
The right side is the definitive choice for the 'money shot' of the monastery. For the most vivid colors, aim for a flight during the 'Golden Hour' in summer, when the sun hangs low and illuminates the monastery's stone walls against the dark sea. Ensure your camera is ready at least 10 minutes before landing.

Severodvinsk Naval Hub
View the massive industrial complex of Russia's primary submarine construction center shortly after takeoff.
Onega Peninsula Coastline
The rugged, forested shores of the Onega Peninsula National Park stretch along the southwestern horizon.
Unskaya Bay
A unique, deep-cutting bay known for its distinctive geographical shape and importance for migratory birds.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct glare of the sun over the White Sea. It is particularly interesting for those fascinated by industrial landscapes and military history near Arkhangelsk.
