Ungava Bay Coastline
The stark, rocky transition between the land and the frigid northern waters of the bay.
George River Estuary
The massive mouth of the George River where it empties into the sea, often featuring swirling silt patterns.
Arctic Tidal Flats
Expansive areas exposed by some of the world's highest tides, creating a unique coastal landscape.
Koksoak Mouth
The grand opening of the Koksoak River into the bay, a prime area for spotting marine life from the air.
Seasonal Ice Floes
From late autumn through early summer, watch for massive white ice sheets drifting in the northern currents.
The right side is essential for coastal photography. On winter flights, keep a lookout for the Aurora Borealis to the north. In summer, the coastal cliffs are most vibrant under the midday sun. Use a fast shutter speed to capture the complex textures of the shoreline.
