Polar Ural Mountains
The northernmost range of the Urals visible on the western horizon, often snow-capped even in summer.
Ob River Crossing
The massive scale of one of Russia's longest rivers, featuring the port of Labytnangi on the far bank.
Arctic Circle Boundary
The symbolic crossing into the Arctic Circle just before the final descent into Salekhard.
For the best mountain views, choose a window seat on a clear day. During winter, look for the 'Struna' (the long-distance communication towers) and the lights of the Polar Circle monument when approaching for landing at night.

Dense Siberian pine and larch forests surrounding the oil-rich hub of Noyabrsk.
Permafrost Lake Network
A mesmerizing pattern of thousands of small, circular thermokarst lakes dotting the tundra landscape.

Vast, marshy wetlands and intricate river braids characteristic of the West Siberian Plain.
