Which side of the plane to sit from Syktyvkar Airport (Syktyvkar) to Naryan Mar Airport (Naryan-Mar)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior perspective of the Timan Ridge's ancient geological structures and the dramatic approach into the Pechora River Delta.

Vychegda River Meanders
Intricate loops of the Vychegda River visible immediately after departing Syktyvkar.
Timan Ridge
The weathered, rolling hills of this ancient mountain range provide texture to the northern landscape.
Komi Taiga
Dense, dark coniferous forests that represent some of the last remaining virgin woodlands in Europe.
Pechora River Delta
A sprawling network of river channels and marshlands as the plane descends into Naryan-Mar.
Choose the left side for the best topographical detail of the Timan Ridge mid-flight. During winter, look for the 'white-on-white' contrast of frozen river beds against the snow-covered tundra. Morning flights are ideal as the eastern sun highlights the western relief of the hills.

Syktyvkar Cityscape
A comprehensive view of the Komi capital and its industrial outskirts during the climb.
Polar Ural Horizon
On days with exceptional visibility, the jagged peaks of the Ural Mountains may appear on the far eastern horizon.
Thermokarst Lakes
Countless small, circular lakes formed by permafrost melting, creating a 'swiss cheese' pattern on the tundra.
Arctic Tundra
The transition from taiga to the treeless Arctic expanse, often reflecting golden hues during summer sunsets.
The right side is best for spotting the distant Urals if the air is clear. In late autumn or early spring, watch for the 'frost line' where the forest suddenly gives way to the frozen Nenets tundra. This side also offers better views of the midnight sun during the peak of summer.
