The historic Don river basin and the strategic junction of the Volga-Don canal area.

Novosibirsk Skyline

The right side is spectacular during sunrise or sunset flights as the light hits the Ural peaks and reflects off the Siberian rivers. Keep a lookout for the Caucasus peaks early in the flight if the sky is clear. On the final approach to OVB, this side usually offers the best view of the massive Ob Reservoir (the 'Ob Sea').

Siberian Taiga
Expansive stretches of dense coniferous forests as you enter the West Siberian Plain.
