Barents Sea
Uninterrupted views of the vast Arctic Ocean stretching northward toward the North Pole.
Kvaløya Peaks
The rugged, snow-dusted mountain ranges surrounding Hammerfest immediately after takeoff.
Magerøya West Coast
Dramatic vertical cliffs and rocky outcrops where the mainland falls into the sea near Honningsvåg.
Arctic Tundra
Vast, sparse, and beautiful high-latitude landscapes that change dramatically with the seasons.
Choose a window seat forward of the wing for unobstructed views. During the Midnight Sun season (May-July), the lighting is spectacular at any hour. On winter flights, look for the Aurora Borealis away from the aircraft's internal lights. Watch for the Gjesværstappan bird cliffs in the distance as you approach Magerøya.

Hammerfest Town
Aerial view of the iconic colorful houses and harbor of the world's northernmost city.
Melkøya Island
The massive LNG processing plant, a major industrial landmark illuminated in the arctic night.
Porsanger Peninsula
Wide expanses of the Finnmarksvidda plateau and the inner fjord systems to the south.
Valan Approach
Scenic descent over the deep blue inlets and rocky bays surrounding the Honningsvåg area.
The right side is superior for seeing the urban layout of Hammerfest immediately after takeoff. In autumn (September-October), the tundra colors on the mainland are exceptionally vibrant. Keep your camera ready for the Melkøya industrial site early in the flight as it provides a sharp contrast to the natural terrain.
