Scenic views of the interior peaks that dominate the horizon of the southern Seward Peninsula.
Elim Peninsula
Rugged coastal features and rocky outcrops near the village of Elim.
Coastal Tundra
Expansive views of the wild, roadless landscape where the tundra meets the Bering Sea.
The left side is most scenic during morning flights when the sun illuminates the mountains and coastal cliffs. Watch for the Iditarod trail markings along the coast during late winter. Cape Darby is the most significant landmark to look for halfway through the flight.
