Khibiny Massif
Striking views of the Arctic's highest mountains, featuring unique flat-topped peaks and deep glacial cirques shortly after takeoff.
Kandalaksha Gulf
The southernmost arm of the White Sea, characterized by thousands of small islands and a jagged, rocky coastline.
Lake Onega
A massive expanse of water appearing as an inland sea, often showcasing the eastern wilderness of Karelia.
Karelian Taiga
Endless stretches of deep green coniferous forest, interspersed with thousands of tiny, mirror-like lakes.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Khibiny Mountains roughly 15-20 minutes after departure from Murmansk. During winter flights, this side offers the best chance to spot the Aurora Borealis away from the setting sun's glow. In summer, the morning light illuminates the White Sea coast beautifully.
