Uray Oil Infrastructure
Views of the industrial sites and pipelines surrounding the town of Uray immediately after takeoff.
Konda River Meanders
Spectacular oxbow lakes and winding water patterns characteristic of the West Siberian Plain.
Sverdlovsk Taiga
Dense, unending stretches of dark coniferous forest stretching toward the horizon.
Yekaterinburg Skyline
Clear views of the Iset Tower and Vysotsky skyscraper as the aircraft aligns for landing.
Verkh-Isetskiy Pond
A massive reservoir on the western edge of the city that marks the beginning of the urban sprawl.
Choose the left side for morning flights to avoid the direct southern sun. This side is particularly rewarding during the descent into SVX, as it typically faces the city center. In winter, keep an eye out for the white-on-black contrast of frozen rivers against the dark taiga.
