Bering Sea Coastline
Expansive views of the western horizon where the tundra meets the sea.
Tidal Drainage
Intricate, vein-like patterns of saltwater creeks cutting through the mudflats.
Seasonal Sea Ice
In winter months, witness the jagged edges of the pack ice along the shore.
Chefornak Outskirts
Aerial view of the remote village infrastructure upon descent.
Sit on the left for coastal views. Morning light is best for photography to avoid glare from the sea. Note that these flights are very low altitude, providing excellent detail of the ground.

Kuskokwim Delta Lakes
A dense concentration of thousands of small 'pothole' lakes reflecting the sky.
Meandering Rivers
The Kuguklik River displays extreme oxbow loops and natural water carvings.
Tundra Wildlife
Keep an eye out for movement on the ground; reindeer or muskox are sometimes visible.
The right side is ideal for seeing the 'pockmarked' tundra landscape. In summer, the green and brown hues of the mosses are vibrant. Polarized sunglasses will help see through the water reflections in the lakes.
