On clear days, the twin peaks of Europe's highest mountain are visible on the horizon to the west.
Stavropol Upland
A bird's-eye view of the vast, colorful geometric patterns of the southern Russian agricultural heartland.

Caspian Sea Coastline
Stunning views of the deep blue Caspian waters and the coastal lagoons near the Azerbaijan-Russia border.
Caspian Depression
The unique, low-lying landscape of the Dagestan region, characterized by salt flats and semi-desert terrain.
Volga-Don Steppes
The wide, open horizons of the Russian steppe, offering a sense of the immense scale of the Russian landscape.
Moscow Urban Sprawl
The dense urban development, highway networks, and satellite towns surrounding Domodedovo Airport.
The right side is best for those who enjoy coastal views during the first phase of flight. For evening arrivals, this side often catches the golden hour light reflecting off the numerous small lakes and rivers of the southern Russian plains. Sit behind the wing to avoid engine glare when photographing the coastline.
