Search flights from YPH to YPX
Hudson Bay Ice Floes
Spectacular views of pack ice and pressure ridges moving across the bay during winter and spring months.
Hopewell Islands
A striking chain of narrow, elongated islands that run parallel to the coast, showcasing dramatic rock layers.
Arctic Coastline
The rugged interface where the Canadian Shield meets the salt water, featuring jagged inlets and rocky beaches.
Low Sun Reflections
Due to the high latitude, the sun stays low, creating intense metallic reflections off the water and ice.
Sit on the left for the most consistent coastal views. During the brief summer, look for the deep blue of the bay contrasting with the dark rock. In winter, keep an eye out for 'leads' or cracks in the ice where seals might be present. Morning flights provide the best lighting for photography without glare.

Innuksuac River
The winding river valley visible immediately after takeoff from Inukjuak, carving through the ancient rock.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
A dense mosaic of thousands of small, sapphire-colored lakes scattered across the tundra landscape.
Ungava Peninsula
The vast, treeless expanse of the Canadian Shield, showing the raw power of ancient glacial erosion.
The right side is perfect for observing the unique permafrost geography of Nunavik. Look for 'polygonal ground' patterns caused by freeze-thaw cycles in the soil. This side is often better during the height of summer when the tundra flowers and mosses create a subtle patchwork of colors.
