Southampton Island Coast
The rugged northwestern shoreline of the island as the plane departs Coral Harbour.
Roes Welcome Sound
The historic maritime passage that separates the island from the Canadian mainland, often filled with drifting floes.
Kivalliq Tundra
A stunning mosaic of thousands of small kettle lakes and permafrost patterns unique to the mainland.
Chesterfield Inlet Settlement
Clear views of one of the oldest communities in the Kivalliq region during the final descent.
Watch for the color change in the water when crossing the Sound, which indicates depth changes. This side is particularly spectacular during the 'Golden Hour' when the low Arctic sun highlights the intricate textures of the tundra's permafrost polygons.

Hudson Bay Expanse
Infinite views of the deep blue waters of northern Hudson Bay, appearing as a vast desert of water or ice.
Arctic Ice Formations
During winter and spring, observe massive pressure ridges and geometric cracks in the sea ice pack.
Marine Life Potential
In summer, the dark waters near the coast are prime spots for spotting pods of white beluga whales.
Look southward during the midday sun to see the light reflecting off the ice pack. Bring polarized sunglasses to reduce the intense glare from the water and snow during the long summer days.
