Lake Onega
Stunning vistas of Europe's second-largest lake, including its many islands and deep blue waters.
Kandalaksha Gulf
The northwestern corner of the White Sea, featuring a rugged coastline and numerous small archipelagos.
Khibiny Mountains
The ancient, flat-topped mountain massif on the Kola Peninsula, especially striking with snow caps.
Lake Imandra
One of the largest lakes in the region, situated just west of the Khibiny Mountains.
Murmansk Port
On the final descent, views of the Kola Bay and the world's largest city above the Arctic Circle.
The right side is essential for viewing the Khibiny Mountains, which are the scenic peak of the trip. In summer, the 24-hour daylight allows for great visibility at any hour. For the best view of the White Sea coastline, ensure you are seated near a window mid-cabin or forward to avoid wing obstruction.
