The Ural Mountains
The ancient mountain range serves as the geographical border between Europe and Asia, visible as a rugged ridge to the west.
Ob River Valley
The massive floodplain of the Ob River is visible in the distance, showcasing one of the world's largest river systems.
Yekaterinburg Skyline
During the descent into Koltsovo, enjoy views of the city's modern skyscrapers, including the Vysotsky and Iset towers.
Industrial Landscape
Glimpses of the industrial infrastructure and mining operations that define the economic landscape of the Ural region.
Sit forward of the wing for an unobstructed view of the Urals. The mountain ridge is most prominent during the final 30 minutes of the flight. If flying in winter, the snow-covered peaks are much easier to distinguish from the surrounding plains.

Nadym River Basin
Visible shortly after takeoff, the river creates complex meanders through the permafrost landscape.
West Siberian Taiga
A vast, unbroken carpet of coniferous forest stretching to the eastern horizon for hundreds of kilometers.
Arctic Wetland Patterns
Unique geometric patterns formed by peat bogs and small lakes typical of the Siberian lowlands.
Look out for the silver glint of the many small lakes during the golden hour; at these latitudes, the sunset or sunrise can last a significant portion of the flight during summer months. In winter, look for the stark contrast between the dark trees and white snow.
