Hudson Strait
Expansive views of the massive Arctic waterway that separates the Ungava Peninsula from Baffin Island.
Arctic Coastal Cliffs
Dramatic rocky drop-offs and jagged shorelines typical of the northernmost tip of Quebec.
Sugluk Inlet
The deep, narrow fjord leading into Salluit, offering spectacular views of steep valley walls during the descent.
Sea Ice Formations
Intricate patterns of pack ice and floes visible for the majority of the year in these sub-arctic waters.
The left side is superior for coastal viewing. During the descent into Salluit, the aircraft often banks over the water, providing a clear view of the fjord walls. This side is best in the morning when the sun illuminates the northern cliffs, highlighting the geological textures.

Ungava Tundra
A vast, treeless expanse of moss, lichen, and ancient rock characteristic of the Arctic Barren Lands.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Countless small, crystal-clear blue lakes carved into the permafrost by retreating glaciers.
Precambrian Shield
Exposed ancient rock formations that make up some of the oldest parts of the Earth's crust.
Focus on the right side if you are interested in the geology of the Canadian Shield. The interior lakes often reflect a deep turquoise color in summer. Low-angle sun during the winter months creates long, dramatic shadows that emphasize the subtle relief of the tundra terrain.
