Which side of the plane to sit from Salluit Airport (Salluit) to Ivujivik Airport (Ivujivik)?
Right Side of the Plane
The flight path tracks the northern edge of the Ungava Peninsula, placing the dramatic Arctic coastline and the Hudson Strait directly out the right windows.

Sugluk Inlet
A stunning deep-water fjord with steep, rugged cliffs that frames the departure from Salluit.
Hudson Strait
The massive, cold waterway where the Atlantic meets the Arctic, often filled with shifting ice floes.
Digges Islands
Historic, rocky islands located just off the tip of the peninsula near Ivujivik, known for massive seabird colonies.
Arctic Seascape
The dramatic interface where the sheer rock faces of Quebec drop vertically into the dark Arctic waters.
Pack Ice Formations
Intricate geometric patterns of sea ice that vary wildly depending on the wind and tidal currents.
Sit on the right for the most dynamic views. The departure from Salluit is particularly breathtaking as you climb out of the fjord. In July and August, watch the water closely for beluga whales or narwhals. Since this is a high-latitude flight, the low sun angle often creates long, dramatic shadows across the rock faces in the afternoon.

Ungava Plateau
A vast, ancient expanse of the Canadian Shield characterized by rocky outcrops and permafrost landscapes.
Arctic Pothole Lakes
A dense network of small, crystalline lakes formed by glacial retreat scattered across the tundra.
Tundra Wilderness
The treeless, minimalist beauty of the Far North where caribou tracks are sometimes visible in the snow or moss.
The left side is best for those who appreciate the quiet, vast scale of the Arctic interior. During late summer, the landscape turns vibrant shades of orange and red, while winter offers a monochromatic, alien-like snowscape. Use a polarizer to cut through the haze over the plateau.
