Ungava Bay
Vast, sweeping views of the Arctic waters known for some of the highest tides in the world.
Diana Bay
Visible shortly after takeoff, this area features stunning coastal cliffs and intricate shorelines.
Arctic Ice Floes
Depending on the season, you can see massive chunks of sea ice drifting along the coast.
Coastal Inlets
Deeply carved rocky fjords and inlets that define the edge of the Ungava Peninsula.
Sit on the left for morning flights to see the sun rising over the Ungava Bay. This side is superior for photography during the winter and spring when the contrast between the white sea ice and dark water is at its peak. Keep your eyes peeled for marine life near the shorelines.

Arnaud River Valley
The massive Payne River (Arnaud) system dominates the landscape as you approach Kangirsuk.
Glacial Kettle Lakes
Thousands of small, crystal-clear lakes scattered across the tundra like blue gems.
Canadian Shield
The ancient, exposed granite of the Ungava Peninsula showing the raw geology of Northern Quebec.
Tundra Plains
Expansive views of the treeless Arctic landscape where caribou herds are occasionally visible.
The right side is best for observing the unique 'pockmarked' geology of the permafrost. On late afternoon flights, the low sun angle creates dramatic shadows across the rolling hills and river valleys. It is the better side for viewing the final approach into Kangirsuk's inland-facing runway.
