Which side of the plane to sit from Mehamn Airport (Mehamn) to Berlevåg Airport (Berlevag)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers unparalleled views of the dramatic Barents Sea coastline and the Nordkinn Peninsula, including Kinnarodden, the northernmost point of mainland Europe.
Barents Sea Horizon
Gaze out over the vast, often turbulent waters of the Arctic Ocean extending toward the North Pole.
Kinnarodden Cliffs
Spot the true northernmost point of mainland Europe, characterized by sheer, dark rock faces dropping into the sea.
Abandoned Settlements
Look for the remnants of Omgang, a historic coastal site that was once a thriving fishing community.
Coastal Wildlife
Keep an eye on the cliffs for sea eagle nesting grounds and massive colonies of Arctic seabirds.
Sit on the left for the best views of the rugged coastline. During winter months, this side offers the best chance to see the Northern Lights over the ocean if flying at night. The flight is extremely short (approx. 15-20 minutes), so be ready with your camera immediately after takeoff.
Nordkinn Plateau
View the desolate, moon-like landscape of the peninsula's interior, covered in snow for most of the year.
Tanafjorden Entrance
Look south to see the mouth of the massive Tana Fjord as it cuts deep into the Norwegian mainland.
Tanahorn Mountain
As you approach Berlevåg, look for this iconic 270-meter high peak which serves as a historic landmark for sailors.
Berlevåg Approach
View the winding mountain roads and the remote infrastructure of the Varanger Peninsula during the descent.
The right side is ideal for seeing the inland topography and the deep blue waters of the fjords. If flying during the Midnight Sun (May-July), the lighting on the plateau provides incredible textures for photography. Note that the landing in Berlevåg can be windy, offering a thrill for aviation enthusiasts.
