White Sea Horizon
The cold, expansive waters of the Dvina Bay visible shortly after takeoff from Talagi.
Plesetsk Direction
The remote, heavily forested areas leading towards the Plesetsk Cosmodrome.
Rybinsk Reservoir
A massive man-made sea on the Volga River, visible in the distance during mid-flight.
Moscow Canal
The impressive engineering of the canal system connecting the Volga to the Moscow River.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the sunset over the Russian plains. During descent into SVO, this side typically offers the best view of the Khimki district and the Sheremetyevo terminal infrastructure. Watch for the dramatic change from dark northern forests to the bright, urban sprawl of the Moscow suburbs.

Northern Dvina Delta
The intricate network of channels and islands formed by the river entering the White Sea.
Arkhangelsk Cityscape
A clear view of the industrial port facilities and the city's historic timber heritage.
Vologda Taiga
Vast, untouched expanses of the northern Russian forest stretching to the horizon.
Klyazma Reservoir
A glimpse of the popular recreational water bodies located just north of Moscow.
Sit on the left for morning flights to avoid direct glare while viewing the Northern Dvina. This side is better for spotting the dense forest patterns of the Arkhangelsk and Vologda regions. Keep an eye out for the historic Vologda city area roughly midway through the flight.
