James Bay Coastline
Expansive views of the western edge of James Bay where the tundra meets the sea.
Tidal Mudflats
Intricate patterns created by the receding tide, revealing vast stretches of coastal silt.
Akimiski Island
On clear days, the distant silhouette of the largest island in James Bay is visible to the east.
Lawashi River Mouth
The point where the Lawashi River empties into the bay, creating visible silt plumes.
Choose the left side for the best maritime views. Since the flight is extremely short and at a low altitude, the transition between the muskeg and the bay is highly detailed. In winter, look for pressure ridges in the sea ice.
