Udachnaya Diamond Mine

Visible shortly after takeoff, this massive open-pit mine is one of the largest man-made holes on Earth.

Vilyuy Reservoir

A vast expanse of water cutting through the taiga, looking particularly striking during the spring ice melt.

Central Siberian Plateau

Dramatic, deeply eroded plateau landscapes with ancient basaltic rock formations and winding river valleys.

Angara-Yenisei Taiga

A continuous carpet of dark coniferous forest that stretches to the horizon, occasionally broken by forestry clearings.

The Ob Sea

As the plane approaches Novosibirsk, you can see the expansive Novosibirsk Reservoir on the Ob River.

Nizhnyaya Tunguska River

One of the most remote rivers in Russia, carving deep meanders through the northern Siberian wilderness.

Yenisei River Crossing

The flight crosses the mighty Yenisei, one of the world's longest rivers, often seen near the town of Yeniseysk.

West Siberian Lowland

Watch as the terrain flattens out into the world's largest level plain, characterized by countless small lakes and swamps.

Novosibirsk Skyline

During the final approach into OVB, the Right Side often provides a sweeping view of the city's industrial zones and the Ob River bridges.
