NNM → ARH
Which side of the plane to sit from Naryan Mar Airport (Naryan-Mar) to Talagi Airport (Arkhangelsk)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers a superior vantage point of the Arctic coastline, the vast Pechora River delta, and the transition from tundra to the White Sea's Mezen and Dvina Bays.

Pechora River Delta
An immense network of hundreds of channels and islands visible immediately after takeoff from Naryan-Mar.
Barents Sea Coastline
The dramatic meeting point of the Arctic Ocean and the Russian mainland, often clogged with ice floes until early summer.
Cheshskaya Bay
A vast, circular bay of the Barents Sea that is a critical habitat for Arctic marine life.
Mezen Bay
The easternmost arm of the White Sea, known for having some of the highest and most powerful tides in the Arctic.
Dvina Bay
The final approach over the White Sea, where you can often see cargo ships and icebreakers queued for Arkhangelsk.
Northern Dvina Delta
A complex archipelago of islands and distributaries where the river meets the sea near the destination.
The right side is ideal for afternoon and evening flights to catch the Arctic sunset over the White Sea. During the Polar Day (June-July), visibility is constant; look for the distinct color change between the silt-heavy river water and the deep blue of the sea. It is the better side for viewing the intricate geography of the coast and the delta approach into Talagi.

Nenets Tundra
Infinite patterns of thermokarst lakes and permafrost wetlands that look like cellular structures from above.
Timan Ridge
Ancient, eroded mountain remnants appearing as low-lying hills cutting through the flat Arctic landscape.
Mezen River Meanders
The winding loops of the Mezen River as it carves through the transition zone between tundra and taiga.
Arkhangelsk Taiga
Vast stretches of dense, dark-green coniferous forest that dominate the landscape as the plane flies south.
Pinega Karst Region
Subtle depressions and white gypsum outcrops marking one of Europe's most unique cave systems.
For flights in the morning, the left side will be hit by direct sunlight, which can create glare but offers beautiful 'golden hour' illumination of the tundra lakes. In winter, this side is best for spotting the low-hanging Arctic sun. Choose a seat behind the wing to avoid engine heat haze when photographing the delicate river textures.
