Kurgan Cityscape
Immediate views of the city center and the Tobol River loops right after takeoff.
Steppe Lakes
A cluster of small, shallow lakes characteristic of the Trans-Ural region.
Aramil District
Industrial and residential views of the town just south of Koltsovo Airport.
Koltsovo Final

Sit on the left for the most interesting views of Kurgan after takeoff. During winter months, the low sun in the south can create high contrast, which is great for seeing topographic details. The approach to SVX often follows a path that showcases the southern industrial belt of Yekaterinburg, providing a sense of the region's scale.

Boreal Forests
Continuous stretches of dense silver birch and pine forests typical of the Siberian edge.
Infrastructure Corridors
Views of the major transport links and the Trans-Siberian railway snaking through the landscape.
Ural Foothills
Gentle rises in terrain indicating the transition from the West Siberian Plain to the Middle Ural mountains.
Frozen Marshes
In winter, the northern side displays intricate geometric patterns of frozen wetlands and river tributaries.
The right side offers softer lighting for photos as it faces north, away from the sun, reducing glare. Look out for the subtle transition from the flat Siberian Plain to the slightly more rugged terrain of the Middle Urals. This side is best if you prefer natural, forested landscapes and want to avoid the direct southern sun during this west-bound flight.
