TJM β NYA
Which side of the plane to sit from Roshchino International Airport (Tyumen) to Nyagan Airport (Nyagan)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more comprehensive view of the winding Ob River system and the vast, lake-strewn landscapes of the West Siberian Plain.
Ob River Basin
Stunning views of the massive, winding river channels and the complex network of floodplains.
Endless Taiga
A deep green carpet of coniferous forest that dominates the landscape as you fly north.
Mirror Lakes
Hundreds of small, perfectly circular lakes that reflect the sky, characteristic of the Khanty-Mansi region.
Snowy Expanse
In winter, the landscape turns into a stark, beautiful white void with frozen river arteries.
The right side is best for morning flights to avoid direct glare while seeing the river systems clearly. Watch the transition from the agricultural lands near Tyumen to the wild, untouched forests of the north. Use a polarizing filter for photos to cut through the atmospheric haze common over the wetlands.
Industrial Flares
Visible gas flares from oil and gas extraction sites dotting the Siberian wilderness.
Peatland Mosaics
The intricate, sponge-like patterns of the Vasyugan Swamp's northern reaches.
Nyagan Outskirts
Aerial views of the city's residential blocks and northern infrastructure upon approach.
Choose the left side for evening flights to witness the sunset over the Ural Mountains' distant silhouette. During winter, look for the sharp orange glow of gas flares which are most dramatic against the dark, snowy ground.
