The Ob River
A stunning aerial view of one of Russia's great rivers, showcasing its massive width and shifting sandbars shortly after departure.
Nadym Lowlands
A mesmerizing network of thousands of small, interconnected lakes that characterize the West Siberian Plain.
Gas Industry Flares
Visible gas flares and pipeline corridors as you approach Nadym, highlighting the region's energy significance.
This side is best for photography during the 'Golden Hour' on evening flights, as the low sun reflects off the countless lakes and the Ob River. Keep an eye out for the 'Stalin Railway' (Project 501) ruins crossing the landscape.

Poluy River Meanders
Intricate, snake-like loops of the Poluy River visible as the aircraft gains altitude from Salekhard.
Permafrost Patterns
Unique polygonal ground formations and thermokarst lakes created by the freezing and thawing of the Arctic soil.
Nomadic Campsites
Occasional glimpses of Nenets reindeer herder camps (chums) in the remote tundra stretches between the cities.
Choose a seat in front of the wing for an unobstructed view of the ground patterns. During the long winter nights, this side is excellent for potential Aurora Borealis sightings away from the plane's glare.
