Yekaterinburg Skyline
Excellent views of the city center, including Vysotsky skyscraper and Iset Tower, shortly after takeoff.
Verkh-Isetskiy Pond
A massive reservoir on the edge of the city that glitters in the morning sun.
Tavda River Meanders
Intricate oxbow lakes and silver loops of the Tavda river cutting through the marshes.
Oil Fields
Small industrial clusters and access roads signaling the approach to Russia's major oil-producing heartland.
The right side is ideal for morning departures to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of Yekaterinburg's urban sprawl. During the final 15 minutes of the flight, look closely for the flickering lights of gas flares and the geometric patterns of oil extraction sites that define the local economy.

Middle Urals Range
The ancient, weathered peaks of the Ural Mountains forming the border between Europe and Asia.
Vast Taiga
Dense, uninterrupted stretches of coniferous forest typical of the Sverdlovsk and Tyumen regions.
Konda River Basin
Serpentine water pathways and wetlands as the flight approaches the Uray region.
Sit on the left for the best view of the sunset during winter evening flights. This side provides a clearer perspective of the transition from the rolling hills of the Urals into the flat Siberian lowlands. Watch for the sharp contrast between the dark forest and frozen white rivers during the winter months.
