Which side of the plane to sit from Iqaluit Airport (Iqaluit) to Hall Beach Airport (Hall Beach)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior perspectives of Baffin Island's massive interior lakes and a better vantage point for the remote islands scattered across the Foxe Basin during the approach.
Search flights from YFB to YUX
Nettilling Lake
The largest lake in Nunavut and the largest lake on any island in the world, dominating the central Baffin landscape.
Prince Charles Island
A massive, low-lying, and uninhabited island in the Foxe Basin that only appears on maps made after 1948.
Great Plain of the Koukdjuak
A vast, flat wetland area that serves as a critical breeding ground for Lesser Snow Geese.
Melville Peninsula
As you approach Sanirajak, view the stark, treeless expanse of the peninsula's eastern coastline.
The right side is ideal for spotting the unique geography of the Foxe Basin islands. Since this route is far north, use a fast shutter speed to capture the high-contrast patterns of the Arctic tundra and frozen lakes.

Frobisher Bay
Aerial view of the dramatic tidal ranges and rugged coastline surrounding Iqaluit during takeoff.
Amadjuak Lake
The second-largest lake on Baffin Island, known for its surrounding low-lying tundra and rocky outcrops.
Koukdjuak River
A wide, shallow river that drains Nettilling Lake, creating a unique pattern across the Arctic landscape.
Foxe Basin Coastline
The transition from the mainland to the shallow, often ice-choked waters of the western Foxe Basin.
Choose the left side for better lighting during morning flights as the sun will be behind you. In late winter, look for pressure ridges in the sea ice where the basin meets the Melville Peninsula.
