Which side of the plane to sit from Inukjuak Airport (Inukjuak) to Umiujaq Airport (Umiujaq)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side of the aircraft offers a front-row seat to the Nastapoka Arc, a massive geological formation of crescent-shaped islands that parallel the coastline, providing one of the most unique aerial views in the Canadian Arctic.
Search flights from YPH to YUD
Nastapoka Islands
A stunning, perfectly curved chain of basalt islands that follow the coastline for hundreds of kilometers.
Hudson Bay
The immense expanse of the world's second-largest bay, often filled with spectacular turquoise currents near the shore.
Seasonal Sea Ice
From late autumn through early summer, witness the intricate patterns of pack ice and pressure ridges forming on the bay's surface.
Marine Life
During the summer months, keep a close eye on the shallow coastal waters for the white shapes of Beluga whales migrating along the coast.
The right side is the definitive choice for this route due to the Nastapoka Islands. These flights are typically operated by Dash 8 aircraft at relatively low altitudes, allowing for excellent detail. If flying during the winter, the low angle of the sun creates dramatic shadows across the ice ridges and coastal cliffs.

Watch the river's winding path as it empties into Hudson Bay immediately after departure from Inukjuak.
Cuesta Ridges
Dramatic tilted rock formations of the Canadian Shield that create steep landward cliffs and gentle slopes toward the sea.
Permafrost Polygons
Geometric patterns in the tundra ground caused by the freezing and thawing of the soil in this subarctic environment.
Lac Guillaume-Delisle
A massive, brackish inland sea separated from Hudson Bay by a narrow ridge of high rocks, visible as you approach Umiujaq.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the rugged geology of the Canadian Shield. In the autumn, the tundra turns vibrant shades of red and gold. During the short summer, look for the many small kettle lakes that dot the interior landscape like pieces of broken glass.
