Search flights from OME to ELI
Norton Sound
Expansive views of the Bering Sea's northern waters, often filled with pack ice in winter.
Safety Sound
A complex lagoon system near Nome that serves as a vital habitat for migratory birds.
Cape Darby
The flight path rounds this significant rocky headland before crossing Golovnin Bay.
Golovnin Bay
Aerial perspective of the remote coastal waters leading toward the village of Golovin.
Sit on the right for the best coastal views. Keep an eye out for intricate sea ice patterns in winter or whale spouts near the shore in summer. The low-altitude approach into Elim over the bay is particularly scenic from this side.

Kigluaik Mountains
Distant views of the rugged, snow-capped peaks of the western Seward Peninsula.
Solomon River
Watch the winding, serpentine river paths carving through the arctic tundra.
Arctic Wilderness
Vast expanses of uninhabited land that change from vibrant greens in summer to stark white in winter.
Look North early in the flight for the silhouette of the Kigluaik Mountains. This side is best for spotting land-based wildlife like muskox or reindeer in the tundra during clear summer months.
