Barents Sea
Uninterrupted views of the deep blue Arctic waters stretching toward the North Pole.
Syltefjordstauran
One of Norway's most significant bird cliffs, teeming with gannets and kittiwakes during breeding season.
Syltefjord
A dramatic fjord entry with steep, barren mountains dropping directly into the sea.
Hamningberg Coastline
The unique, moon-like rock formations and rugged shoreline leading toward the historic fishing village.
Vardø Lighthouse
The northernmost lighthouse on the island of Hornøya, visible as the flight approaches the destination.
Sit in the front or rear of the Dash 8 aircraft to avoid the engine and high-wing obstruction. This flight is extremely short (approx. 10-15 mins), so have your camera ready immediately after takeoff. The morning light is particularly beautiful on the cliffs during summer months.

Varangerhalvøya Tundra
The vast, desolate plateau of the Varanger Peninsula National Park, showing its unique permafrost landscape.
Arctic Lakes
Small, crystal-clear glacial lakes scattered across the high-altitude rocky terrain.
Globus Radar Domes
The iconic and controversial large spherical radar installations visible on the horizon near Vardø.
Svartnes Town
The small settlement on the mainland side where the airport is located, seen just before touchdown.
The right side provides a sense of the scale of the wilderness. Look for reindeer herds on the plateau during the summer. In winter, the landscape is a stark white-on-white, making the blue shadows in the snow quite photogenic.
