The Seven Sisters
The 'Sju Søstre' mountain range rising steeply from the water near Sandnessjøen, a legendary sight of the Nordland region.
Svartisen Glacier
Stunning views of Norway's second-largest glacier, featuring deep blue crevasses and vast ice plateaus.
The Arctic Circle
The flight path crosses 66°33'N, marking the entry into the Arctic region, often signaled by a shift in light and terrain.
Saltstraumen
The world's most powerful tidal current, visible as massive whirlpools in the sound just before landing in Bodø.
Okstindan Peaks
Views of the 'Roof of Northern Norway,' featuring some of the highest mountains in the northern part of the country.
The right side is the 'mountain side' and is best for morning flights when the sun illuminates the peaks. Watch for Svartisen approximately 15 minutes before landing. During the final approach to Bodø (BOO), look down to spot the swirling waters of Saltstraumen; the pilot often banks the plane providing a clear view of the maelstrom.

Helgeland Coastline
A sprawling panorama of thousands of small islands, reefs, and skerries dotting the Norwegian Sea.
Torghatten
The famous mountain with a natural hole through its center, visible near the town of Brønnøysund.
Vega Archipelago
A UNESCO World Heritage site recognized for its unique cultural landscape and eider duck farming heritage.
Midnight Sun Horizon
During summer months, this side faces the late evening sun as it hovers over the Atlantic horizon.
Lofoten Wall
On clear days, the distant, jagged peaks of the Lofoten islands appear across the Vestfjorden during the approach.
Choose the left side for afternoon or evening flights to catch spectacular sunsets over the Atlantic. This side is also superior for spotting the unique geography of the outer islands and the distinct silhouette of Torghatten. Keep your camera ready about 20-25 minutes into the flight for the best coastal shots.
