Tanafjord
Spectacular aerial views of one of Finnmark's most significant fjords shortly after takeoff.
Nordkinn Peninsula
Look back to see the dramatic cliffs of the northernmost point of mainland Europe.
Vadsø Town
A clear view of the town's grid layout and historical architecture during the landing approach.
Vadsø Harbor
Spot local fishing vessels and the Hurtigruten pier as the plane aligns with the runway.
Sit on the right for the best coastal photography. This side is particularly impressive during the late afternoon when the sun illuminates the western slopes of the fjords. It also provides the best view of the Vadsø airship mast, used by Amundsen and Nobile.

Barents Sea
Vast views of the Arctic Ocean to the north during the initial climb from Mehamn.
Varanger Peninsula
The rugged, treeless plateau of the Varangerhalvøya National Park stretches across the horizon.
Arctic Tundra
A stark, beautiful landscape characterized by permafrost patterns and rocky outcrops.
Northern Horizon
On clear days, the sharp contrast between the dark sea and the pale arctic sky is mesmerizing.
Great for observing the vastness of the Varanger Peninsula. In winter, look for the 'blue hour' lighting which turns the snow-covered plateau into a pastel landscape. Keep an eye out for patterns in the permafrost.
