Search flights from YYR to YRG
Mealy Mountains
The dramatic rising peaks of the Mealy Mountains National Park Reserve, often snow-capped well into summer.
Etagaulet Bay
A large, scenic bay on the southern side of Lake Melville known for its rugged shoreline and deep blue waters.
The Narrows
The narrow passage where Lake Melville exits into the Atlantic, a prime spot for spotting icebergs in early summer.
Coastal Tundra
The unique, treeless landscape near the coast where the harsh Atlantic climate stunts forest growth.
The right side is the undisputed winner for mountain views. Since these flights are usually at lower altitudes (7,000-10,000 ft), you can see incredible detail in the rock formations of the Akami-Uapishkα΅-KakKasuak-Mealy Mountains. Late afternoon flights provide dramatic shadows across the mountain ridges.

Lake Melville North Shore
Observation of the vast inland sea's northern coastline with its intricate network of small coves.
Boreal Forest Canopy
Dense, untouched stretches of black spruce and balsam fir characteristic of the Labrador wilderness.
Double Mer
A long, narrow saltwater tidal inlet that runs parallel to the main flight path near the approach to Rigolet.
Mulligan Bay
A prominent bay on the northern shore often used for local fishing and trapping access.
Sit on the left if you want to see the transition from thick forest to the rocky coastal barrens. The morning sun will be behind you, providing excellent lighting for photos of the northern shoreline without glare. Watch for the dramatic tidal shifts in Double Mer as you descend.
