Ukkusiksalik National Park
Views of the southern reaches of this remote park, known for its dramatic reversing falls and high density of polar bears.
Roes Welcome Sound
The narrow channel of the Arctic Ocean separating the mainland from Southampton Island, often filled with pack ice.
Hudson Bay Horizon
On clear days, the vast expanse of the northern Hudson Bay is visible as a deep blue or brilliant white line on the horizon.
Naujaat Coastal Cliffs
Rugged, rocky terrain as the flight approaches Repulse Bay, featuring steep drops and dramatic elevation changes.
The Arctic Circle
The flight crosses the 66° 33' N latitude line just before landing in Repulse Bay (Naujaat), marking the entry into the true Arctic.
This side is superior for marine observations. During July and August, look for white dots in the water near the coast which are likely Beluga whales. If flying during the winter, the sea ice patterns in the Frozen Strait provide a mesmerizing, ever-changing landscape of pressure ridges and leads.

Baker Lake Shoreline
Aerial view of the massive freshwater lake as the plane climbs out of the settlement, showcasing its unique island formations.
Quoich River Meanders
Intricate, winding river patterns carved into the ancient permafrost, looking like silver threads against the brown tundra.
Glacial Erratics
Massive boulders left behind by receding glaciers, visible as distinct dots scattered across the barren landscape.
Arctic Eskers
Long, winding ridges of sand and gravel formed by glacial meltwater tunnels, acting as natural highways for caribou.
Permafrost Polygons
Geometric ground patterns caused by the freezing and thawing of soil, creating a natural mosaic visible from high altitude.
Look for the sharp shadows cast by the eskers during the low-angled sun of late autumn. In summer, this side is best for spotting the deep reds and oranges of the tundra vegetation. Keep an eye out for caribou herds which often migrate through these inland plains.
