Tomsk City View
Aerial view of the historic city of Tomsk and the Tom River immediately after takeoff from Bogashevo.
Ob River Basin
Stunning views of the massive Ob River, one of the world's longest, with its complex network of oxbow lakes and channels.
Yugra Bridge
A magnificent view of the 2,110-meter cable-stayed bridge over the Ob River during the descent into Surgut.
Surgut Power Stations
View of the GRES-1 and GRES-2 power plants, among the most powerful thermal power stations in the world.
Surgut Hub
The industrial layout of Surgut city, showing its development as a major oil and gas logistics center.
The right side is highly recommended for the approach into Surgut. You will likely pass directly over or parallel to the Ob River, providing a scale of the water system that is hard to grasp from the ground. In winter, the frozen river patterns are geometrically fascinating; in summer, the contrast between the blue water and green taiga is vibrant. Best lighting is usually on evening flights when the sun sets to the west, illuminating the river reflections.

Vasyugan Swamp Edge
Aerial perspective of the northern fringes of the world's largest swamp system, featuring intricate peat patterns.
Thermokarst Lakes
Thousands of small, circular lakes dotting the landscape, created by the freezing and thawing of permafrost.

Southern Taiga

Sit on the left for better views of the expansive Vasyugan Swamp during the mid-flight segment. If flying at night, this side often provides a clear view of the distant, eerie glow from gas flares across the Siberian wilderness. Ensure you have a window seat clear of the wing for the best view of the water-saturated terrain.
