Ural Mountain Range
A front-row seat to the ancient mountain range that separates Europe from Asia, featuring rugged peaks and deep valleys.
Siberian Taiga
An endless emerald carpet of coniferous forest stretching toward the horizon as you cross into Asia.
Ob River Tributaries
The intricate, snake-like patterns of the northern river systems feeding into one of the world's longest rivers.
Gas Field Infrastructure
Visible pipelines and extraction sites near Nadym, marking Russia's primary natural gas production hub.
Industrial Flares
On night flights, look for the bright orange glows of gas flares dotting the dark Siberian wilderness.
The right side is best for geography enthusiasts wanting to see the actual ridge of the Urals. Choose this side for morning flights to get direct sunlight on the mountains. As you approach Nadym, look for the distinct 'V-shape' patterns in the landscape caused by industrial roads and pipelines cutting through the virgin forest.

Belaya River
Aerial views of the winding river valley surrounding Ufa immediately after departure.
Western Ural Foothills
Gentle rolling hills and deep green forests marking the boundary of the European plain.
Yamal Tundra Lakes
A vast mosaic of thousands of small permafrost lakes that glitter during the descent into Nadym.
Arctic Twilight
On evening flights, the western horizon provides long, dramatic sunsets due to the high northern latitude.
Sit on the left for softer lighting during northbound morning flights. In winter, this side is excellent for catching the low-hanging sun reflecting off the snow-covered tundra. Watch for the transition from the Bashkirian steppes to the thick northern taiga about 30 minutes into the flight.
