Search flights from YIO to YGT
Baffin Mountain Range
Stunning views of the sheer granite peaks and jagged ridges of the Arctic Cordillera.
Sirmilik Glaciers
Massive ice caps and alpine glaciers that flow from high mountain peaks toward the coastal fjords.
Eclipse Sound
Panoramic views of the deep blue waters and floating icebergs separating Baffin and Bylot Islands.
Foxe Basin Coastline
The visual transition where the rugged rock of Baffin Island meets the shifting sea ice of the basin.
Sit on the left for optimal morning light on the mountain faces. During summer, the contrast between the dark rock and white ice is most intense. Look out early in the flight as the most dramatic peaks are closer to the Pond Inlet departure point.

Arctic Tundra Plateaus
The expansive, desolate beauty of the Baffin interior, characterized by rocky plains and sparse vegetation.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Thousands of small, scattered lakes formed by retreating ice that dot the interior landscape like jewels.
Igloolik Island
The distinct, flat limestone island that stands out against the surrounding Foxe Basin waters.
Fury and Hecla Strait
A glimpse of the historic waterway that separates Baffin Island from the mainland's Melville Peninsula.
The right side is ideal for afternoon flights to catch the low Arctic sun reflecting off the inland lakes. As you approach Igloolik, keep your eyes peeled for the distinct patterns of the sea ice, which often reveal lead lines used by local hunters.
