Right Side of the Plane

The right side offers a direct view of the iconic Point Spencer sand spit and the expansive Bering Sea horizon during this short hop.

Right Side Highlights
8.5
πŸ–οΈ

Point Spencer

A dramatic 15-mile long sand spit that hooks into the sea, defining the entrance to the harbor.

🚒

Point Spencer Facilities

The remnants of the historic Coast Guard LORAN station and current infrastructure on the spit's tip.

πŸ‹

Bering Sea Gateway

The transition point where the calm waters of the bay meet the rugged, open Bering Sea.

This is one of the shortest commercial flights in the world, usually lasting under 10 minutes. Sit on the right and have your camera ready immediately upon takeoff to capture the unique hook shape of Point Spencer. Morning flights offer the best lighting as the sun reflects off the Bering Sea to the west.

Left Side Highlights

🌊

Port Clarence Bay

The deep-water bay that serves as a natural harbor between the two remote villages.

πŸ—ΊοΈ

Tuksuk Channel

The narrow waterway visible to the east that connects the bay to the massive Imuruk Basin.

πŸ”οΈ

Seward Peninsula Tundra

Vast stretches of treeless, rolling arctic wilderness stretching toward the interior of Alaska.

Look toward the horizon to spot the Imuruk Basin. In winter, this side is excellent for viewing intricate geometric patterns formed by sea ice and pressure ridges within the sheltered bay.
