Breathtaking views of the Amur and Ussuri rivers meeting near Khabarovsk immediately after takeoff.

A vast expanse of untouched dark-coniferous taiga forest, home to rare flora and fauna.
Lena River Braids
Intricate patterns of sandbars and shifting channels as the aircraft descends toward the Yakutsk valley.
