Darby Mountains
A range of jagged peaks that provide a dramatic backdrop to the coastal plain early in the flight.
Tubutulik River
A highly serpentine river system that winds through the tundra, creating beautiful oxbow patterns.
Seward Peninsula Tundra
A vast mosaic of lichen, moss, and shrubs that changes color dramatically with the seasons.
Anvil Mountain
A landmark near Nome identifiable by its distinct shape and the White Alice communication domes on top.
The right side is best for landscape and wildlife enthusiasts. In September, the tundra turns deep crimson, making for incredible photography. Watch the mountain slopes closely, as reindeer or muskox can sometimes be spotted from low-altitude regional flights.
