OOK → MYU
Which side of the plane to sit from Toksook Bay Airport (Toksook Bay) to Mekoryuk Airport (Mekoryuk)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side offers the most engaging views of the departing coastline and the best angle for seeing Mekoryuk village upon arrival.
Nelson Island Tundra
View the treeless, mossy landscape and coastal wetlands immediately after departure from Toksook Bay.
Etolin Strait
Observe the narrow stretch of water between Nelson and Nunivak Islands, known for its strong currents and seasonal ice.
Mekoryuk Settlement
A clear view of the village houses and the local fishing infrastructure during the final approach into the airport.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid direct sun glare while viewing the land features. Look for muskoxen herds on the tundra if the pilot maintains a lower altitude during the summer months.
Bering Sea
The endless horizon of one of the world's most productive and turbulent marine ecosystems extending westward.
Coastal Cliffs
Dramatic rocky outcrops on the northern side of Nunivak Island visible as the plane begins its descent.
Pack Ice
From November to May, observe the stunning white geometric patterns of sea ice covering the strait and the sea.
The right side is ideal for late afternoon or sunset flights, offering spectacular colors over the Bering Sea. Keep a close watch for marine life such as seals on ice floes during the spring migration.
