Wabush Open-Pit Mines
Stunning aerial views of the massive red-tinted iron ore excavations right after takeoff.
Manicouagan Reservoir
The legendary 'Eye of Quebec,' a perfectly circular impact crater reservoir visible from high altitude.
Laurentian Highlands
Ancient, rolling mountain ranges that mark the final descent toward the St. Lawrence Valley.
Montreal Downtown
Exceptional views of Mount Royal and the skyscraper-filled skyline when approaching from the north.
This is the premier side for photography. About 20-30 minutes after takeoff, watch for the striking circular ring of water that is the Manicouagan Crater. During the final approach to YUL, you will likely pass over the Laurentians; if landing on Runways 24L/R, you will have a perfect view of the downtown core and Mount Royal.

Boreal Wilderness
Infinite stretches of the Canadian Shield's deep green forests and countless glacial lakes.
St. Lawrence Estuary
The dramatic crossing where the North Shore meets the massive, widening river system.
Monteregian Hills
Distinctive, isolated peaks like Mont Saint-Hilaire rising abruptly from the flat valley floor.
Olympic Stadium
The iconic tilted tower and circular roof of the 1976 Olympic venue during the final descent.
Choose this side for soft morning light during southbound flights to avoid direct sun glare. It provides the best perspective of the South Shore and the river's widening estuary as you leave the rugged northern terrain. Look for the massive Daniel-Johnson Dam (Manic-5) if the pilot takes a more easterly corridor.
