Which side of the plane to sit from Kuujjuaq Airport (Quujjuaq) to Inukjuak Airport (Inukjuak)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers superior views of the vast Lac Minto and the unique geological formations of the Hopewell Islands upon the approach to Hudson Bay.
Lac Minto
One of Nunavik's largest lakes, spanning much of the central peninsula with its deep blue waters.
Leaf River Drainage
The complex network of tributaries that feed into the Leaf River system to the north.
Hopewell Islands
A stunning chain of elongated islands along the Hudson Bay coast, showing unique cuesta rock formations.
Hudson Bay Horizon
The dramatic first glimpse of the vast Hudson Bay as the aircraft begins its descent into Inukjuak.
Keep your camera ready during the final 15 minutes of the flight; the Hopewell Islands are a geological marvel best seen from the right. In late autumn, you may spot early sea ice forming along the coastline. Morning flights offer the best illumination for the central plateau's lakes.
Koksoak River Bend
Aerial view of the massive Koksoak River as the flight departs westward from Kuujjuaq.
Arctic Tundra Mosaic
A continuous expanse of permafrost landscapes, characterized by thousands of small kettle lakes and wetlands.
Innuksuak River Basin
The winding path of the Innuksuak River leading towards the settlement of Inukjuak.
Glacial Eskers
Long, winding ridges of sand and gravel deposited by glacial meltwater during the last ice age.
Look for the stark transition from the boreal forest edge to true tundra. Afternoon flights provide long shadows that highlight the subtle topography of the Canadian Shield. During winter, watch for the intricate patterns of wind-blown snow across the frozen lakes.
