Pechora River Delta
Observe the complex network of river channels and islands surrounding Naryan-Mar immediately after departure.
Timan Ridge
View the weathered, low-lying peaks of this ancient mountain range that dates back to the Neoproterozoic era.
Usinsk Industrial Hub
Spot the remote oil and gas infrastructure and pipelines that define the economy of the Pechora Lowland.
Southern Taiga
Watch the dramatic transition from the sparse Arctic tundra to the dense, dark coniferous forests of the Komi Republic.
Sit on the left for the best views of the Pechora River's path. During the long winter months, the low sun angle provides dramatic shadows over the snow-covered Timan Ridge. Morning flights are ideal to have the sun behind you while looking east toward the Ural foothills.

Arctic Tundra
A vast expanse of permafrost terrain dotted with thousands of small thermokarst lakes visible shortly after takeoff.
Sula River
Look for the highly sinuous path of this tributary as it cuts through the remote northern wilderness.
Uninhabited Wilderness
A pristine view of the roadless northern territory where nature remains largely untouched by human development.
Syktyvkar Approach
Enjoy views of the Vychegda and Sysola river confluence as the aircraft aligns for landing in the Komi capital.
The right side is preferable for afternoon or evening flights to catch the sunset over the vast Russian North. Keep an eye out for the distinct vegetation patterns where the tundra begins to give way to the northern forest belt approximately halfway through the flight.
