Which side of the plane to sit from Mo i Rana Airport, Røssvoll (Mo i Rana) to Rørvik Airport, Ryum (Rørvik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The Right Side offers an unparalleled view of the Helgeland archipelago, showcasing thousands of islands, the UNESCO-listed Vega archipelago, and the striking geological transition to the Norwegian Sea.
Vega Archipelago
A UNESCO World Heritage site consisting of thousands of tiny islands and traditional eider duck houses.
Leka Island
Norway's Geological National Monument, famous for its unique red and yellow serpentinite rock formations.
Helgelandskysten
One of the world's most beautiful coastlines, featuring a massive labyrinth of islets and turquoise waters.
Norwegian Sea
The vast horizon where the shallow coastal waters drop off into the deep blue of the North Atlantic.
Vikna Archipelago
The dense cluster of islands surrounding Rørvik, visible during the low-altitude final approach.
The right side is spectacular for seeing the 'skjærgård' (archipelago). Afternoon flights offer stunning reflections on the water and better lighting for the western islands. Because these flights are typically operated by Widerøe's Dash-8 at lower altitudes, the detail of the islands is exceptional.
Okstindan Range
Visible to the east shortly after takeoff, featuring Oksskolten, the highest peak in Northern Norway.
De Syv Søstre
The iconic Seven Sisters mountain range near Sandnessjøen, looking like a row of giant peaks along the coast.
Torghatten
The legendary mountain with a natural hole clean through its center, visible as you fly past Brønnøysund.
Vefsnfjorden
A deep, dramatic fjord cutting into the mainland with steep forested walls.
Choose the left side for dramatic mountain photography. Morning flights are ideal as the sun illuminates the eastern mountain faces. Keep your camera ready as you pass Sandnessjøen for the best angle of the Seven Sisters peaks.
