EVE → ANX
Which side of the plane to sit from Harstad/Narvik Airport, Evenes (Harstad/Narvik) to Andøya Airport (Andoya)?
Right Side of the Plane
While both sides offer stunning Arctic scenery, the right side provides a superior view of the expansive Andfjorden, the dramatic peaks of Senja island in the distance, and the iconic lighthouse upon landing.
Andfjorden
The vast, deep blue fjord separating the islands of Andøya and Senja, known for its rich marine life.
Senja Island Skyline
The 'Devil's Teeth' and other sharp, dramatic mountain ridges on the neighboring island of Senja are visible on the horizon.
Andenes Lighthouse
A tall, red-painted cast iron lighthouse marking the approach to Andøya Airport at the northern tip of the island.
Bleik Canyon Region
The area where the continental shelf drops off, famous for whale sightings; the deep waters appear a striking dark navy.
Bleiksoya Bird Island
A perfectly conical island rising from the sea, home to thousands of puffins during the breeding season.
The right side is essential for seeing the coast of Senja and the vastness of the Norwegian Sea. During winter flights, this side offers the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis over the open ocean. As the flight is very short (approx. 20-30 minutes), avoid using the restroom so you don't miss the spectacular descent into Andenes.
Møysalen National Park
The jagged peaks of Hinnøya island, featuring the highest mountain in the Vesterålen archipelago.
Tjeldsund Bridge
An architectural landmark connecting the Norwegian mainland with the island of Hinnøya shortly after takeoff.
Forfjord Nature Reserve
Views of some of the oldest pine forests in Norway, nestled in a valley between steep mountains.
Gullesfjorden
A deep, narrow fjord that cuts into the heart of the rugged landscape beneath the flight path.
Sit on the left for closer views of the interior alpine terrain of Hinnøya. This side is particularly beautiful during the late afternoon in summer when the sun illuminates the western faces of the peaks. Keep your camera ready shortly after takeoff to catch the intricate fjord systems of Vesterålen.
