Our Recommendation
8.2

Left Side of the Plane

The left side offers the most iconic views of the Labrador coast and the Strait of Belle Isle, including the best vantage point for spotting icebergs in the spring and summer months.

Left Side Highlights
8.2
🌊

Churchill River

Expansive views of the river and Lake Melville immediately after takeoff from Goose Bay.

🌲

Labrador Wilderness

A massive tapestry of boreal forest and thousands of unnamed pristine lakes stretching to the horizon.

⛴️

Strait of Belle Isle

The narrow waterway crossing between the mainland and the island of Newfoundland.

🧊

Iceberg Alley

Prime viewing for massive icebergs drifting south along the coast from May through July.

🏝️

Quirpon Island

Rugged coastal terrain and lighthouses visible as the plane descends toward St. Anthony.

Choose the left side for the best chance of seeing icebergs in 'Iceberg Alley' during late spring. Early morning flights offer stunning reflections off the numerous lakes in the Labrador interior. Keep your eyes peeled for whale spouts as you cross the Strait.

Right Side Highlights
7.5
🏔️

Mealy Mountains

Distant views of the ancient, rounded peaks of the Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve to the south.

🎣

Coastal Outports

Bird's eye views of isolated fishing communities clinging to the rugged Labrador coastline.

⛰️

Long Range Mountains

The northernmost tip of the Appalachian mountain range as you reach the Great Northern Peninsula.

🏠

St. Anthony Bight

Scenic approach over the rocky inlets and harbor structures of the St. Anthony area.

The right side is excellent for photography during late afternoon flights, as the sun illuminates the eastern slopes of the Long Range Mountains. Look for the transition from the dense forests of the mainland to the barrens of northern Newfoundland.
