Sugluk Inlet
The deep, narrow fjord surrounding Salluit, visible immediately after takeoff with steep rocky cliffs.
Hudson Strait
Wide views of the northern waterway that separates the Ungava Peninsula from Baffin Island.
Douglas Harbour
One of Nunavik's most stunning natural harbors, featuring dramatic cliffs and deep blue water.
Arctic Pack Ice
Depending on the season, witness massive floating ice fields and bergs drifting through the strait.
Wakeham Bay Entrance
The scenic approach into Kangiqsujuaq, showcasing the protected waters of the bay.
Choose the left side for the best coastal geography. In June and July, expect 24-hour daylight which provides incredible visibility for the sea ice. During autumn, the contrast between the dark ocean and the first snow on the mountains is breathtaking. Watch closely mid-flight for the King George Archipelago in the distance to the north.

Ungava Plateau
The vast, rolling interior of the Canadian Shield, characterized by ancient granite and tundra.
Glacial Lakes
Thousands of small, pristine lakes scattered across the landscape like blue jewels.
Deception River Valley
The winding path of the river as it cuts through the rocky Arctic plateau.
Raglan Mine Area
Distant glimpses of the industrial infrastructure and roads associated with northern mining operations.
The right side provides a sense of the immense scale of the Arctic wilderness. It is the better side for spotting the Aurora Borealis if traveling during the dark winter months (November to March). Keep an eye out for patterns in the permafrost and 'polygons' in the ground, which are most visible during the snow-free months of August and September.
