Which side of the plane to sit from Tromsø Airport, (Tromso) to Kirkenes Airport (Høybuktmoen) (Kirkenes)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides an unparalleled view of the rugged Arctic coastline, the dramatic Lyngen Alps, and the vast expanse of the Barents Sea.
Lyngen Alps
Breathtaking views of jagged peaks and glaciers rising straight from the turquoise fjords shortly after takeoff.
Porsanger Peninsula
Dramatic coastal cliffs and deep blue waters of the Arctic Ocean along the northern edge of Finnmark.
Barents Sea Horizon
Unobstructed views toward the North Pole over one of the world's most productive marine ecosystems.
Varanger Peninsula
Observation of the unique, windswept Arctic tundra and prehistoric geological formations near the end of the flight.
Sit on the left (Port) side for the best chance to see the Midnight Sun during summer months. This side faces north, offering a constant view of the Arctic horizon. During winter, look out for the Aurora Borealis over the open sea where light pollution is non-existent.
Tromsø Cityscape
A bird's-eye view of the Tromsø bridge, the Arctic Cathedral, and the island city during initial ascent.
Finnmarksvidda Plateau
The vast, rolling mountain plateau that serves as traditional grazing land for thousands of reindeer.
Tana River (Tanaelva)
The winding path of one of Norway's longest and most famous salmon rivers as it approaches the Tanafjord.
Stabbursdalen
Views toward the world's northernmost pine forest and the rugged interior mountains of the Finnmark region.
The right (Starboard) side is excellent for seeing the inland topography and the scale of the Finnmark plateau. It is particularly beautiful during 'the blue hour' in winter when the snowy interior glows with a deep violet hue. Watch for the meandering river patterns near Kirkenes.
