Oka River Bends
Dramatic serpentine river patterns winding through the Meshchera Lowlands south of Moscow.
Southern Ural Ridges
Up-close views of the ancient, forested ridges and rocky crests of the Southern Urals.
Ural Lake District
A unique landscape near Chelyabinsk featuring hundreds of nearly circular natural lakes.
Industrial Vistas
Aerial perspective of the massive industrial complexes and mining operations near the mountains.
Tobol River Meanders
The intricate, silvery loops of the Tobol River during the final descent into Kurgan.
The right side is best for geologic variety, from mountain ridges to the lake district. On morning flights, the sun will be on this side, so high-quality sunglasses are recommended to combat glare while viewing the mountains.
