Bureinsky Range
High altitude peaks of the Russian Far East that offer dramatic relief and deep valleys.
Bureya Reservoir
A gargantuan man-made lake that looks like a blue jewel tucked among the northern mountains.
Siberian Taiga
The world's largest forest ecosystem stretching endlessly toward the northern horizon.
Yablonovoy Mountains
The great continental divide separating the watersheds of the Arctic and Pacific Oceans.
Lake Kenon
A prominent lake located right next to Chita-Kadala airport, providing a beautiful landmark for landing.
Optimal for afternoon flights as the low sun enhances the texture of the mountain ranges. This side offers the best views of the vast, uninhabited Siberian interior. Bring binoculars to spot the remote hydroelectric infrastructure nestled in the valleys.
