Roes Welcome Sound
View the narrow channel of water that separates the mainland from Southampton Island, often filled with drifting pack ice.
Hudson Bay Coastline
Follow the rugged eastern edge of the Kivalliq Region, showcasing the dramatic interface between the Arctic tundra and the sea.
Chesterfield Inlet Mouth
Watch for the entrance to this 150-mile long inlet, a historic waterway used by explorers and fur traders to reach the interior.
Bernier Bay Landscapes
Observe the intricate patterns of the coastal wetlands which serve as vital habitats for Arctic migratory bird species.
Sit on the left for the best views of the maritime geography. During late spring and summer, look for white beluga whales or narwhals in the Roes Welcome Sound. The morning light provides excellent contrast against the water and ice formations. In winter, the low-angled sun creates long shadows over the pressure ridges in the sea ice.

The Barren Lands
Fly over the vast, treeless tundra known as the Barren Lands, characterized by permafrost and ancient geological formations.
Qamanirjuaq Caribou Range
Scan the landscape for the movement of caribou herds, which frequent this region during their seasonal migrations.
Glacial Erratic Fields
See thousands of boulders left behind by receding glaciers, scattered across the landscape like giant marbles.
Baker Lake Approach
Glimpse the massive freshwater lake as the flight descends toward the community, the only inland Inuit settlement in Canada.
The right side is ideal for spotting terrestrial wildlife and observing the unique 'pockmarked' landscape created by millions of small kettle lakes. Keep binoculars ready for caribou sightings if flying during the migration seasons of May or September. The afternoon sun illuminates the tundra's golden hues during the brief Arctic autumn.
