Search flights from YNA to YZV
Mingan Archipelago
Stunning views of the limestone monoliths and over 40 islands that make up this National Park Reserve.
Romaine River Delta
The massive, complex mouth of the Romaine River as it empties its sediment into the gulf.
Havre-Saint-Pierre
A clear view of this coastal town, a major hub for mining and tourism in the region.
Boreal Wilderness
Endless stretches of the Canadian Shield's untouched evergreen forests and rugged taiga.
Magpie River
View of one of the world's best whitewater rivers, recognized for its ecological and cultural significance.
Sept-Îles Industrial Port
Upon descent, view the massive iron ore shipping facilities and the circular bay that gives the city its name.
Secure a window seat on the right for the best experience. The most dramatic scenery occurs mid-flight when passing over the Mingan Archipelago; look for the white limestone contrast against the dark blue water. Morning flights are preferred as the sun illuminates the coastline from the south. Keep a lookout for the distinct change in water color near the river mouths, especially after heavy rains.

Gulf of Saint Lawrence
The vast, deep blue expanse of the gulf stretching toward the Atlantic Ocean.
Anticosti Island
On clear days, the distant northern coastline of this massive, wild island is visible on the horizon.
Maritime Traffic
Spot large cargo ships and tankers navigating the primary shipping lanes toward the interior of the continent.
While less features are present on this side, it is ideal for those seeking a tranquil view of the open sea. During late afternoon flights, the southern horizon offers soft lighting and potentially a glimpse of the remote Anticosti Island. It is generally the 'quieter' side visually, away from the complex geography of the coastline.
