Which side of the plane to sit from Iqaluit Airport (Iqaluit) to Kimmirut Airport (Kimmirut)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior vantage point for the dramatic coastline of the Meta Incognita Peninsula and the vast, deep blue waters of Frobisher Bay during the initial ascent from Iqaluit.

Frobisher Bay
Iconic views of the massive bay known for some of the highest tides in the world.
Meta Incognita Range
Rugged, jagged mountains and deep glacial valleys that characterize the southern Baffin coastline.
Coastal Sea Ice
Intricate patterns of ice floes and bergs visible during the late spring and early summer months.
Pleasant Inlet
A stunning, narrow waterway that leads the aircraft directly into the Kimmirut valley.
Sit on the left for the most consistent coastal views. If flying during the late summer, the low-angled sun provides incredible texture to the mountain shadows. In winter, look for the stark contrast between the white snow and the dark, open leads in the sea ice.

Sylvia Grinnell River
A beautiful winding river system visible immediately after takeoff from Iqaluit Airport.
Arctic Plateau
The ancient, weathered rock formations of the Canadian Shield stretching toward the interior.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Countless small, crystal-clear lakes scattered across the tundra like sapphire beads.
Kimmirut Settlement
A unique aerial perspective of the colorful houses tucked into the rocky terrain upon final approach.
The right side is excellent for spotting terrestrial features. Keep a keen eye out for movement on the tundra; caribou are occasionally visible from lower altitudes. This side often gets better lighting during afternoon flights as the sun moves west.
