BVGMEH

Which side of the plane to sit from Berlevåg Airport (Berlevag) to Mehamn Airport (Mehamn)?

Our Recommendation
9.1

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers an unparalleled view of the dramatic Arctic coastline and the vast Barents Sea, including a rare aerial perspective of the northernmost point of mainland Europe.

Right Side Highlights
9.1
🌊

Barents Sea

The endless horizon of the Arctic Ocean, often featuring deep blue or slate grey hues.

📍

Kinnarodden

The true northernmost point of mainland Europe, characterized by sheer cliffs dropping into the sea.

🗼

Slettnes Lighthouse

The world's northernmost mainland lighthouse, standing as a lonely sentinel on the coast near Mehamn.

The flight is extremely short, so stay alert immediately after takeoff. For the best experience, fly during the Midnight Sun season (May-July) when the coastline is bathed in golden light. On the descent into Mehamn, the lighthouse and the rugged 'End of the World' atmosphere are most prominent on this side.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Tanafjorden

View the deep, cold waters of one of Norway's largest fjords stretching inland.

🏔️

Nordkinn Plateau

A stark, moon-like arctic landscape with dramatic rocky ridges and deep valleys.

🦌

Arctic Tundra

Look for the patterns of seasonal reindeer migration routes across the barren Finnmark landscape.

This side is best for observing the interior geography of the Nordkinn Peninsula. During the winter 'Polar Night,' look for the faint glow of small settlements against the dark fjord waters. In summer, the low sun illuminates the textured rock formations of the plateau.
