The forested peaks of the Susunaysky Range visible during the initial climb out of Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
Sikhote-Alin Range
Stunning views of the UNESCO-listed wilderness and dense taiga of the Russian Far East mainland.
Ussuri River
The meandering river basin that defines the international border between Russia and China.
Harbin Cityscape
The 'Ice City' and the Songhua River coming into focus during the final approach into Taiping Airport.
