Hudson Strait
Expansive views of the cold, deep blue waters connecting the Atlantic to Hudson Bay.
Wakeham Bay
A stunning view of the fjord's narrow entrance as you depart from Kangiqsujuaq.
Douglas Harbour
A dramatic coastal inlet featuring steep rock walls and deep water.
Sea Ice Floes
Depending on the season, witness the intricate patterns of drifting pack ice and small icebergs.
Salluit Fjord Approach
A spectacular descent over the steep-walled valley as the plane nears the Salluit community.
Sit on the right for the most dramatic coastal geography. The approach into Salluit is one of the most scenic in Nunavik; keep your camera ready as the plane enters the fjord. During winter and spring, the contrast between the dark water and the white sea ice is exceptionally photogenic.

Arctic Tundra
Vast, treeless landscapes showing the unique patterns of permafrost and northern vegetation.
Ungava Plateau
The ancient Precambrian Shield terrain featuring weathered hills and rocky outcrops.
Pristine Lakes
Dozens of small, crystal-clear glacial lakes scattered across the inland interior.
The left side is best for observing the sheer scale of the Arctic wilderness. In late August and September, look for the vibrant red and gold hues of the tundra. Mid-day flights provide the best lighting to see the texture of the rocky plateaus without deep shadows obscuring the terrain.
