Ungava Bay Coastline
A stunning view of the interaction between the Canadian Shield and the massive Ungava Bay.
Seasonal Sea Ice
During winter and spring months, witness the vast expanse of pack ice and floes drifting in the bay.
Tidal Mudflats
Ungava Bay experiences some of the world's highest tides; low tide reveals massive, intricate mudflat patterns.
Coastal Inlets
Deeply carved rocky inlets and small islands dot the shoreline as you head south toward Kuujjuaq.
Sit on the left for the best views of the coastline. This flight is short and usually at a lower altitude, making geographic features very clear. In late summer, the tundra turns vibrant shades of red and orange. For evening flights in winter, keep an eye out for the Aurora Borealis over the bay.

Arctic Tundra
An endless mosaic of lichen, moss, and permafrost features stretching toward the horizon.
Koksoak River
As you approach Kuujjuaq, the massive Koksoak River becomes the dominant feature of the landscape.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Thousands of small, crystal-clear lakes formed by retreating glaciers dot the interior landscape.
Kuujjuaq Settlement
A bird's-eye view of the largest northern village in Nunavik as the plane makes its final approach.
The right side is ideal for spotting the vast network of inland lakes and the winding path of the Koksoak River during the descent. Photographers should use a fast shutter speed to capture the intricate patterns of the tundra without motion blur from the low-flying turboprop planes usually serving this route.
