Bearskin Lake Shoreline
Detailed views of the irregular, rocky shoreline and small islands surrounding the departure point.
Michikan Lake Waters
Glimpses of the remote lake systems located just north of the direct flight path.
Severn River Basin
Aerial perspective of the complex drainage patterns that define the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Northern Horizon
A clear view toward the subarctic wilderness, ideal for spotting the Aurora Borealis on winter night flights.
Choose the left side for the best perspective of the Bearskin Lake community immediately after takeoff. During autumn, the gold-colored larch trees stand out against the dark evergreens. Polarized lenses are recommended to cut through the water's surface reflection for better lake-bottom visibility.

An endless carpet of black spruce and balsam fir typical of the Canadian Shield landscape.
Muskeg Bogs
Intricate patterns of peatlands and mossy wetlands that look like natural abstract art from above.
Wildlife Corridors
The right side looks toward the dense interior where moose are frequently spotted near small ponds.
Watch for the low-angled sun reflecting off the countless kettle lakes in the morning or late afternoon. Because the aircraft usually flies at a lower altitude on this short route, keep your shutter speed high to capture sharp photos of the fast-moving terrain below.
