Nordkinn Peninsula
The northernmost part of mainland Europe, featuring dramatic cliffs and desolate Arctic terrain.
North Cape (Nordkapp)
Look far to the west to see the famous 307-meter high cliff rising vertically from the Arctic Ocean.
Altafjorden
The final descent offers stunning views of the fjord waters and the surrounding mountains near the city of Alta.
Barents Sea Horizon
Unobstructed views of the edge of the world where the ocean meets the Arctic sky.
The right side is premier for coastal enthusiasts. For the best experience, fly during the Midnight Sun (May-July) to see the North Cape area illuminated 24/7. In winter, this side offers the best view of the Aurora Borealis over the open sea if you are on a late-night flight.

Mehamnfjorden
Aerial view of the northernmost fishing village and its harbor immediately after takeoff.
Laksefjorden
A massive fjord system carving deep into the Finnmark plateau with steep, snow-capped peaks.
Finnmarksvidda
The vast, rolling tundra plateau that serves as the traditional grazing grounds for reindeer.
Sennalandet
A high mountain pass area known for its stark, desolate beauty and dramatic winter landscapes.
Sit on the left to witness the transition from the rugged coast to the vast inland tundra. During the autumn months, the colors of the shrubs on the Finnmarksvidda are incredibly vibrant. It is also the better side for viewing the soft inland light during the 'Blue Hour' in mid-winter.
