Varanger Plateau
Glimpse the vast, treeless arctic tundra of the Varangerhalvøya National Park as you depart Vardø.
Syltefjordstauran
Observe one of Norway's largest bird cliffs, a massive rock wall rising sharply from the ocean.
Syltefjord
A stunning fjord cutting deep into the landscape with sheer cliffs and turquoise arctic water.
Persfjord
Spot the rugged shoreline and small seasonal dwellings scattered along this remote coastal inlet.
This is one of the world's shortest commercial flights, often lasting under 15 minutes. Sit on the left and have your camera ready immediately after takeoff from Vardø. During the summer months, the 24-hour midnight sun ensures perfect visibility, while in winter, a night flight may offer spectacular views of the Aurora Borealis reflecting off the snowy peaks below.

Barents Sea
The vast, deep blue expanse of the Arctic Ocean stretching toward the North Pole.
Hamningberg Coastline
View the famous 'lunar landscape' of jagged rock formations along the coastal road to Hamningberg.
Båtsfjord Approach
An excellent aerial perspective of the fishing fleet and industrial harbor as you descend into Båtsfjord.
Arctic Horizon
The unique atmospheric conditions of the high north where the sea blends seamlessly with the arctic sky.
The right side is ideal for passengers interested in the maritime activity of the Barents Sea. Keep a close watch for the approach into Båtsfjord, as the town appears suddenly between the mountains. Because the aircraft flies at a very low altitude, you can often see the specific textures of the rock formations and the wave patterns on the water with great clarity.
