Nizhny Novgorod
Aerial perspective of the historic city where the Oka and Volga rivers merge.
Gorky Reservoir
Known as the Gorky Sea, this massive reservoir dominates the landscape north of the Volga.
Middle Urals
Densely forested mountain ridges that mark the geographic boundary between Europe and Asia.
West Siberian Taiga
An expansive, emerald-green forest canopy that stretches to the horizon in the Ob river basin.
Ob River Wetlands
A complex labyrinth of oxbow lakes, marshes, and river branches visible during the descent.
Request a seat on the left to capture the dramatic transition into Asia over the Urals. In the autumn, the taiga turns into a spectacular mosaic of gold and green. Best viewing occurs about 70 to 90 minutes into the flight during the mountain crossing. In winter, look for the Aurora Borealis on evening flights.

Geometric Bogs
Fascinating natural patterns formed by frozen peatlands and wetlands, especially striking in winter.
Surgut Power Plants
Massive thermal power stations and their cooling ponds visible on the approach to SGC.
This side is best for observing the confluence of major rivers like the Kama and the industrial sprawl of the Tyumen region. During winter, look for the flares from oil refineries which dot the landscape like small stars during dawn or dusk arrivals. Be aware of southern sun glare during midday flights.
