Unity Bay
The immediate view upon departure from Nain, showing the deep waters surrounding the community.
Paul Island
A large, rugged island east of Nain known for its complex shoreline and diverse geology.
Iceberg Alley
During late spring and early summer, the Labrador Current carries massive icebergs southward along this path.
Voisey's Bay Entrance
Aerial views of the deep water inlets leading toward the world-famous nickel mining site.
Labrador Sea Horizon
The vast, open North Atlantic horizon where whales are occasionally visible from lower altitudes.
For the best experience, book a morning flight when the sun illuminates the rocky faces of the coastal islands. From May to July, keep a sharp eye out for white specks in the water; these are often massive icebergs drifting down from Greenland. The short duration of this hop means you should be camera-ready immediately upon takeoff.

Canadian Shield
Ancient, exposed rock formations that dominate the Labrador interior, showing the scars of the last ice age.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Countless small, crystal-clear lakes dotting the tundra landscape, formed by retreating glaciers.
Subarctic Taiga
The transition zone where the boreal forest thins out into open tundra, featuring hardy spruce and larch.
Wilderness Corridors
Vast stretches of uninhabited land that serve as migratory paths for the George River caribou herd.
The right side provides a better sense of the sheer scale of the Labrador wilderness. During autumn, the tundra vegetation turns brilliant shades of red and gold, making for excellent photography. Because these flights often operate at lower altitudes, look for the intricate patterns of moss and lichen on the rocky outcrops.
