Lake Ashuanipi
A vast, island-dotted lake system that marks the beginning of the journey through the subarctic landscape.
Moisie River Valley
One of North America's most famous salmon rivers, carving a deep, winding canyon through the ancient mountains.
Boreal Wilderness
Dense carpets of black spruce and larch stretching to the horizon, intersected by countless glacial streams.
Sept-Îles Archipelago
As you descend, look forward for the seven islands that give the city its name sitting in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
Sit on the left for the best views of the sunrise on morning flights. The Moisie River canyon is most dramatic during the final 15 minutes of the flight; try to avoid the wing for a clear downward view of the rapids.
