Which side of the plane to sit from Timmins/Victor M. Power (Timmins) to Moosonee Airport (Moosonee)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the Moose River's widening path, the historic settlement of Moose Factory Island, and the distant horizon of James Bay during the final approach.
Moose River Estuary
The scale of the Moose River becomes apparent as it broadens significantly before reaching the sea.
Moose Factory Island
Excellent aerial view of the historic Hudson's Bay Company site and the Ontario Northland Railway terminus.
James Bay Horizon
On clear days, the vastness of the world's southernmost Arctic salt water is visible to the northeast.
Abitibi Canyon
Potential glimpses of massive hydroelectric infrastructure embedded deep within the remote wilderness.
Request a window seat on the right for the descent into Moosonee to see the historic community of Moose Factory across the water. In late autumn, look for the golden needles of tamarack trees contrasting against the dark green spruce.
Boreal Canopy
Infinite stretches of the Canadian Shield's dense coniferous forest transitioning into subarctic taiga.
String Bogs
Unique 'ribbon' patterns of peatland and water visible as the terrain flattens into the James Bay Lowlands.
Mattagami River
Dramatic views of the winding river system that serves as a historic transportation artery for the region.
Focus on the window during the middle of the flight to see the complex hydrology of the muskeg. Early morning departures provide a high-contrast view of the 'string bog' formations which are world-renowned geological features.
