The Ural Divide
A constant view of the Ural Mountains, representing the geographical boundary between Europe and Asia.
Konzhakovsky Ridge
On clear days, see some of the highest peaks of the Middle Urals, often snow-capped in early spring or late autumn.
Serov Industrial Hub
Aerial view of the massive metallurgical plants and smokestacks of Serov, a key industrial node.
Verkhneturinskoye Reservoir
Beautiful man-made water body reflecting the surrounding mountain slopes during the descent phase.
The right side is best for sunset flights as the sun dips behind the Ural peaks, creating a dramatic silhouette. Keep your camera ready about 20 minutes after takeoff to catch the first prominent mountain ridges appearing to the west.
