Gulf of Bothnia
Exquisite views of the brackish waters and the shifting coastline of Northern Ostrobothnia.
Oulu Cityscape
A clear view of the 'Capital of Northern Scandinavia' and its intricate network of river deltas.
Hailuoto Island
The largest island in the Bothnian Bay, recognizable by its unique sandy formations and surrounding sandbanks.
Kemi Ice Fields
During winter months, observe the massive expanse of pack ice and potential tracks from the Sampo icebreaker.
Choose the left side for the descent into Kemi; the approach often banks over the sea, offering a panoramic view of the coastline. In winter, midday flights provide the best lighting to distinguish between snow-covered land and frozen sea. Keep your camera ready as you pass Oulu, approximately 20 minutes before landing.

Taiga Wilderness
Dense, unbroken stretches of coniferous forests that characterize the heart of Finland.
Lake Oulujärvi
Visible in the distance to the east, this is Finland's fifth-largest lake, known for its open water reaches.
Aapa Mires
Intricate patterns of northern peatlands and marshes that create a mosaic-like appearance from above.
Rural Ostrobothnia
A patchwork of small agricultural fields and traditional red farmsteads scattered throughout the forest clearings.
The right side is best for observing the vastness of the Finnish interior. During the 'Ruska' (autumn foliage) season in late September, the peatlands and deciduous trees turn brilliant shades of gold and red. Morning flights offer soft, warm light over the inland lakes, which is perfect for aerial photography.
