The Mighty Yenisei
Immediate views of one of the world's greatest rivers right after takeoff from Krasnoyarsk.
Endless Taiga
A deep green carpet of coniferous forest stretching toward the Arctic Circle, broken only by marshes.
Middle Ural Mountains
The low, ancient peaks marking the geographic boundary between Asia and Europe during descent.
Industrial Landscapes
Views of the sprawling industrial complexes and quarries near the Ural foothills before landing at Koltsovo.
The right side is ideal for night flights to potentially spot the Aurora Borealis in winter. Watch for the dramatic change in terrain from the flat Siberian Plain to the folded ridges of the Urals approximately 20-30 minutes before landing.

Novosibirsk Skyline
Distant views of the largest city in Siberia if the flight path follows a southern corridor.
Southern Siberian Steppe
Vast agricultural mosaics and golden fields that characterize the region south of the main taiga belt.
Irtysh River Meanders
Intricate oxbow lakes and winding water patterns as the plane crosses near the Omsk region.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during northbound-curving daytime flights. In winter, the frozen river patterns are highly distinct. Best views occur during the middle third of the flight when passing over the Ob-Irtysh basin.
