Tobol River Confluence
The winding path of the Tobol as it flows north to join the Irtysh amidst deep wilderness.
Gas Flares
At night or in low light, the bright orange glows of oil field gas flares dot the dark horizon.
Ob River Floodplain
A massive network of channels, lakes, and islands visible as you approach the destination.
Oil Extraction Sites
The industrial footprint of the Samotlor region, including pipelines and processing facilities near Nizhnevartovsk.
This side is best for night flights to see the industrial illumination of the oil fields. On the approach to NJC, look specifically for the scale of the Ob River, which is one of the longest in Asia and looks particularly impressive during the spring thaw.

Tura River Meanders
Visible shortly after takeoff from Tyumen, showing complex serpentine loops through the lowlands.
Endless Taiga
Vast stretches of dark coniferous forests that characterize the rugged Siberian landscape.
Vasyugan Margin
Views of the northern edges of the world's largest swamp system, appearing as a mosaic of land and water.
Sit forward of the wing for the best view of the Tura River during departure. During winter months, the low sun creates long shadows over the snow-covered taiga, making the terrain's subtle textures much more visible.
