Search flights from YPJ to YKG
Ungava Bay
One of the most remote water bodies in North America, known for having some of the highest tides in the world.
Coastal Ice Floes
During winter and spring months, witness the shifting pack ice and frozen shoreline patterns.
Payne Bay Estuary
The dramatic meeting point of the Arnaud River and the sea as you approach Kangirsuk.
Tidal Flats
Vast stretches of exposed seabed visible during low tide, highlighting the extreme local tidal range.
Sit on the right side for the most dynamic views of the coastline. If flying during low tide, the transformation of the shoreline is spectacular. Because this is a short northern flight, window seats forward of the wing are highly recommended to avoid engine glare and exhaust distortion when photographing the bay.

Vast Arctic Tundra
An endless expanse of permafrost landscape characterized by low-lying vegetation and mosses.
Post-Glacial Lakes
A dense network of thousands of small, crystal-clear lakes carved out by ancient glaciers.
Canadian Shield Outcrops
Ancient rock formations of the Precambrian Shield visible through the thin northern soil.
The left side is ideal for travelers interested in the patterns of the subarctic landscape. During late August and September, the tundra turns vibrant shades of red and gold. Morning flights provide soft lighting that accentuates the relief of the low hills and rocky outcrops.
