Seilandsjøkelen Glacier
The northernmost glacier on the Norwegian mainland, visible as a massive ice cap atop Seiland Island.
Seiland National Park
A rugged landscape of deep fjords, steep mountains, and hanging valleys carved by ancient ice.
Sørøysundet Strait
The deep blue channel between Hammerfest and Hasvik, often featuring vibrant turquoise hues near the coast.
Kvaløya Tundra
The stark, treeless rocky plateaus surrounding Hammerfest, where reindeer are frequently spotted in summer.
For the best lighting on the Seiland glaciers, take a midday flight when the sun is to the south. The flight is extremely short (approx. 15-20 minutes) and stays at a low altitude, so keep your camera ready immediately after takeoff. This side is superior for mountain lovers and those wanting to see the unique island-alpine geography of Finnmark.

Sørøya Coastline
The dramatic, weathered cliffs of Norway's fourth-largest island, known for its wild and untouched nature.
Barents Sea
The vast, open expanse of the Arctic Ocean stretching north toward the horizon and the North Pole.
Hasvik Village
The colorful houses and fishing harbor of Hasvik become clearly visible during the final descent into the airport.
Arctic Horizon
Incredible light conditions during the Midnight Sun (summer) or the blue hour (winter).
The right side is ideal for travelers who enjoy the 'edge of the world' feeling of the open ocean. During the winter months, if flying in the evening, this side faces away from the southern twilight, making it slightly better for spotting the Aurora Borealis over the Barents Sea. Be aware that Sørøya can often be shrouded in coastal mist, which may obscure some land features.
