Which side of the plane to sit from Wunnumin Lake Airport (Wunnumin Lake) to Summer Beaver Airport (Summer Beaver)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side provides a more dramatic perspective of the glaciated Canadian Shield terrain and the approach into the Nibinamik Lake system, offering clear views of the settlement upon arrival.
Island Archipelagos
Clusters of small, rocky islands dotted throughout the larger lake bodies along the flight path.
Nibinamik Lake
The deep blue waters of Nibinamik Lake come into full view during the final descent into Summer Beaver.
Summer Beaver Settlement
A bird's-eye view of the remote Nibinamik First Nation community and its unique northern infrastructure.
Glacial Scouring
Visible patterns on the exposed granite of the Canadian Shield, carved by ancient glacial movements.
The right side is best for capturing the community layout during the landing sequence. Because these flights are at lower altitudes (typically under 10,000 feet), detail is high; bring a camera with a fast shutter speed to capture the terrain without blur.
Boreal Expansion
Dense, uninterrupted tracts of black spruce and tamarack stretching toward the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Pipestone River Drainage
The intricate network of creeks and tributaries that feed the regional watershed.
Muskeg Peatlands
Low-lying wetlands that create vibrant brown and orange patterns against the dark green forest.
Northern Horizon
Unobstructed views of the vast subarctic sky, particularly striking during the long summer sunsets.
Sit on the left side during midday flights to avoid the harsh southern sun glare. This side is ideal for photographers looking for consistent lighting across the flat, forested landscape.
