Which side of the plane to sit from Chevery Airport (Chevery) to Natashquan Airport (Natashquan)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides a superior view of the dramatic meeting point between the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the rugged North Shore coastline, including remote fishing outposts and isolated island chains.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
Expansive vistas of the vast, cold waters that serve as the gateway to the Atlantic Ocean.
Kégaska Settlement
View the tiny, isolated community that marks the current end of Quebec's Highway 138.
Coastal Archipelagos
A series of small, rocky islands and shoals scattered along the shoreline near Natashquan.
Whale Watching
During summer months, keep a close eye on the water surface for the spouts of migrating whales.
Sit on the left for the best perspective of the coastline's transition from wild sea to the first signs of road infrastructure at Kégaska. Afternoon flights offer the best lighting as the sun illuminates the rocky shores and surf.
Boreal Taiga
An endless canopy of black spruce and balsam fir stretching into the uninhabited northern interior.
Musquaro River
The winding, dark waters of the Musquaro River cutting through the ancient Canadian Shield.
Glacial Lake Patterns
Intricate networks of 'string bogs' and kettle lakes formed by retreating glaciers thousands of years ago.
Precambrian Rock
Exposed outcrops of some of the oldest rock on Earth, characteristic of the Laurentian Plateau.
The right side is best for geography enthusiasts interested in the Canadian Shield. Use a polarizing filter if taking photos to cut through the haze and capture the deep blue of the thousands of inland lakes. Morning flights provide the most dramatic shadows over the river valleys.
