Tatar Strait
The strategic and scenic narrow waterway separating Sakhalin Island from the Russian mainland.
Amur River Estuary
The massive confluence where the Amur River meets the sea, often showing distinct sediment plumes.
Sikhote-Alin Range
A vast, wild mountain system covered in dense taiga, famous for its biodiversity.
Amur River Meanders
As you approach Khabarovsk, the river forms complex braided channels and wetlands.
Khabarovsk Skyline
Aerial views of the city's urban layout and its iconic bridges during the final descent.
This is the preferred side for geographic variety. On afternoon flights, the sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for the Sikhote-Alin mountains. Watch closely for the transition from the strait to the mainland, as the landscape changes dramatically from water to dense forest.
