Search flights from OME to KKA
Norton Sound
Uninterrupted views of the northern Bering Sea, often filled with pack ice during the winter months.
Golovnin Bay
A stunning transition from the open sea to a sheltered bay, featuring clear waters and remote beaches.
Cape Darby
High coastal cliffs and rocky outcrops that mark the eastern entrance to Golovnin Bay.
Marine Life
Keep a sharp eye out for beluga whales or seals which are frequently spotted in the shallow coastal waters.
The right side is ideal for coastal enthusiasts. In late spring, you can see the dramatic breakup of sea ice. For the best photography, choose a flight time when the sun is to the south to illuminate the coastline without causing excessive glare from the water.

Kigluaik Mountains
Distant views of jagged, glacier-carved peaks rising sharply from the tundra north of Nome.
Fish River Meanders
A complex network of oxbow lakes and winding waterways snaking through the central peninsula.
Mount Bendeleben
A prominent 3,700-foot volcanic peak that dominates the interior skyline of the Seward Peninsula.
Arctic Tundra
Vast expanses of untouched wilderness that change from vibrant greens in summer to deep reds in autumn.
Sit on the left if you prefer inland mountain scenery and the intricate patterns of subarctic river systems. This side is particularly scenic during the golden hour when low sunlight emphasizes the topographical relief of the tundra.
