Which side of the plane to sit from Inukjuak Airport (Inukjuak) to Kuujjuaq Airport (Quujjuaq)?
Left Side of the Plane
The left side provides the most dramatic views of the northern Ungava Peninsula landscape and superior lighting for photography, as it faces away from the southern sun. The descent into Kuujjuaq from the north offers a spectacular vista of the Koksoak River's confluence with Ungava Bay.

Hudson Bay Shoreline
Striking views of the rocky eastern coast of Hudson Bay as the aircraft climbs out of Inukjuak.
Permafrost Formations
Intricate patterns of polygonal ground and thermokarst ponds created by frozen soil conditions.
The Great Barrens
A vast, treeless expanse of the Canadian Shield, showcasing the raw beauty of the Arctic tundra.
Ungava Bay Vistas
Glimpses of the massive bay to the north, which features some of the highest tides in the world.
Koksoak River Estuary
The wide, powerful river mouth that serves as the gateway to the destination community.
Choose the left side for midday flights to avoid sun glare, which can be intense over the reflective tundra lakes. In late summer or early autumn, look for the 'red' carpet effect of the tundra vegetation changing colors. This side is also prime for spotting the shimmering blue of the northern coastline during the descent.

Inukjuak Townsite
A detailed overhead view of the Inukjuak community and the mouth of the Innuksuac River.
Glacial Lake Clusters
Countless small, jewel-like lakes scattered across the landscape like fragments of glass.
Interior Ridges

Tree Line Transition

Kuujjuaq Approach
Excellent views of the Kuujjuaq airport infrastructure and residential areas on final descent.
The right side is excellent for seeing the village of Inukjuak immediately after takeoff. During the winter months, look for caribou trails etched into the snow, which are often more visible from this side. Be prepared for direct sunlight for most of the flight, so polarized sunglasses are highly recommended for the best viewing experience.
