The Mighty Ob River
Catch glimpses of the Ob, one of Russia's great rivers, featuring vast floodplains and complex braided channels.
Surgut Lake District
View the incredible density of thermokarst lakes near Surgut, looking like silver mirrors scattered across the Siberian taiga.
Irtysh River Valley
Follow the wide, silver ribbon of the Irtysh River as the flight moves south toward the Omsk region.
Omsk City Center
On the final approach from the north, enjoy views of the Irtysh-Om confluence and the historic central districts of Omsk.
The right side is ideal for daytime flights to capture the sunlight reflecting off the Ob and Irtysh rivers. In autumn, the transition from the yellowing tundra to the darker green taiga is particularly vivid. On the final approach into OMS, keep your camera ready for the Irtysh River bridges and the city's cathedral spires.

Urengoy Gas Fields
Witness the vast industrial complex and occasional gas flares of one of the world's largest gas fields shortly after takeoff.
Pur River Meanders
Observe the intricate, snake-like patterns of the Pur River as it carves through the northern Yamal landscape.
Vasyugan Swamps
Fly over the edge of the world's largest swamp system, a mosaic of peat bogs and thousands of tiny, dark lakes.
Omsk Industrial Zone
Aerial views of the massive Omsk oil refinery and the expanding eastern suburbs of the city during the final descent.
Sit on the left for a better chance to see the dramatic gas flares at night. During winter, look for the 'ice roads' or zimniks that cut perfectly straight lines across the snowy tundra. Use a window seat behind the wing to avoid engine glare when photographing the northern wetlands.
