Ob River Meanders
Spectacular views of one of the world's longest rivers, featuring complex oxbow lakes and silver-braided channels.
Energy Infrastructure
Glimpses of remote gas extraction sites, pipelines, and flares that highlight the region's industrial significance.
Irtysh-Ob Lowlands
The dramatic transition of the landscape into the vast, water-logged floodplains of central Siberia.
Tundra Transition
As you approach Nadym, notice the thinning of the forest as the taiga gives way to the subarctic forest-tundra.
The right side is ideal for morning flights as the rising sun illuminates the river networks. Watch for the dramatic change in river colors during the spring thaw (May-June). During winter, the frozen Ob appears as a massive white highway through the dark forest. Ensure you have a window seat to monitor the industrial flares which are especially visible during night flights.

Tyumen Departure
Aerial view of the Tura River winding through Tyumen's historic center and industrial zones during takeoff.
Kondinsky Taiga
Vast stretches of pristine, dense coniferous forests that dominate the western portion of the West Siberian Plain.
Glacial Lake Clusters
Hundreds of small, circular kettle lakes scattered across the landscape, reflecting the sky like scattered mirrors.
Sit on the left for afternoon flights to enjoy the warm sunset glow over the wetlands. On very clear days, you may catch a faint silhouette of the Ural Mountains on the far western horizon. Window seats away from the wing are essential to see the repetitive yet mesmerizing patterns of the northern marshes.
