The right side provides a front-row seat to the most active volcanic peaks in the Aleutian chain, including the spectacular Okmok Caldera and the frequently venting Mount Cleveland.
Search flights from DUT to AKB
Makushin Volcano
The 6,680-foot ice-covered peak that dominates the landscape of Unalaska Island.
Okmok Caldera
A massive, 10-kilometer wide circular volcanic crater visible on Umnak Island shortly after takeoff.
Mount Cleveland
One of the most active volcanoes in the world, often seen emitting a plume of steam or ash.
Korovin Volcano
The majestic, twin-peaked volcano that serves as the backdrop for the approach into Atka.
Bering Sea Coast
The wild, north-facing coastline where the Bering Sea crashes against ancient volcanic rock.
The right side is essential for volcano enthusiasts. Mount Cleveland appears roughly mid-flight; its active status means you might see volcanic activity. For the best photography, fly in the summer months when the sun stays high, illuminating the deep interiors of the volcanic craters.

Stunning vistas of the deep blue Pacific Ocean meeting the rugged southern Aleutian coastline.
Herbert Island
A near-perfect, snow-dusted volcanic cone rising dramatically from the sea floor.
Amlia Island
A long, uninhabited stretch of wild tundra and jagged cliffs along the southern edge of the chain.
Choose the left side for morning flights to reduce glare. Keep a close eye on the water near Amlia Island for potential whale sightings, and enjoy the dramatic southern light hitting the island slopes during the winter months.
