EYK โ†’ NYA

Which side of the plane to sit from Beloyarskiy Airport (Beloyarsky) to Nyagan Airport (Nyagan)?

Our Recommendation
7.2

Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a more dynamic view of the hydrological networks feeding the Ob River basin and a better perspective of the industrial infrastructure nearing Nyagan.

Right Side Highlights
7.2
๐ŸŒŠ

Ob Tributary Systems

A complex web of seasonal channels and 'sors' that feed into the massive Ob River valley to the west.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Industrial Footprints

Glimpses of oil well pads, pipelines, and clearing strips that define the regional economy.

๐Ÿชž

Mirror Lakes

Small, perfectly still glacial and thermokarst lakes that reflect the sky with high clarity.

๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

Nyagan Approach

The transition from wilderness to the urban and industrial layout of Nyagan during the descent.

Sit on the right side for the best light during afternoon flights as the sun moves west. This side provides a clearer view of the human impact on the landscape, including the distinct linear patterns of the oil and gas industry. Keep your camera ready during the final 5 minutes for the Nyagan city limits.

Left Side Highlights
6.8
๐ŸŒฒ

Endless Taiga

Dense, unbroken stretches of Siberian boreal forest dominated by pine and larch.

๐Ÿงถ

Peat Bog Mosaics

Complex natural patterns formed by moss and standing water in the high-latitude marshlands.

๐Ÿ›ถ

Kazym River Curves

Deeply meandering river bends near the departure point of Beloyarskiy.

The left side is best for observing the raw, untouched Siberian wilderness. In winter, the landscape becomes a stark white canvas where the shadows of the trees create sharp textures. Early morning flights offer a soft mist rising from the wetlands.
