Barents Sea
Uninterrupted views of the Arctic Ocean stretching toward the North Pole with deep blue or icy grey hues.
Cape Nordkinn
Known as Kinnarodden, this is the northernmost point of the European mainland, featuring steep cliffs dropping into the sea.
Slettnes Lighthouse
Spot the world's northernmost mainland lighthouse on the coastal flats near Gamvik just before landing.
Mehamn Village
A picturesque view of the remote fishing port and its colorful houses as the plane maneuvers for its final approach.
Sit on the right for the iconic coastal approach. Keep your camera ready as you pass the Nordkinn Peninsula; the vertical cliffs are world-class. During winter months, this side is ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis over the open ocean away from village lights.

Varangerfjord
Expansive views of the fjord waters separating the peninsula from the mainland to the south.
Varangerhalvøya Tundra
The stark, wind-swept interior of the national park, resembling a lunar landscape with ancient rock formations.
Tanafjorden
A massive fjord system that cuts deep into the Finnmark landscape with steep, dramatic coastal sides.
Look for the sharp contrast between the snowy plateaus and the dark fjord waters. Morning flights provide the best illumination for the interior mountain ranges and tundra textures, especially during the low-angle sun of the Arctic autumn.
