Right Side Highlights

8.8

Kaipokok Bay

The deep, fjord-like inlet that serves as the primary maritime highway between these two remote communities.

Makkovik Harbor

A stunning aerial perspective of the Makkovik settlement and its sheltered harbor immediately after takeoff.

Iceberg Alley

During May and June, look toward the horizon to spot massive white icebergs drifting south in the Labrador Sea.

Marine Life

In summer months, the clear waters of the bay occasionally reveal the silhouettes of whales or seals near the surface.

Since this is a very short flight (approx. 15-20 minutes) usually operated by small turboprops like the Twin Otter, window seats are essential. The right side is best for morning flights to avoid the harsh glare of the southern sun reflecting off the water. In winter, the frozen bay offers a mesmerizing mosaic of white and blue ice patterns.

Boreal Wilderness

Expansive views of the dense black spruce and larch forests that characterize the Labrador interior.

Canadian Shield

Ancient, glacially-scoured rocky ridges and outcrops that form the backbone of the local topography.

Postville Approach

A close-up view of the small community of Postville as the aircraft banks to line up with the gravel runway.

Sit on the left if you are interested in spotting terrestrial wildlife. Keep your eyes peeled for caribou or black bears in the clearings of the taiga, especially during the early morning flights when animals are most active.
