Southampton Island Coast
Aerial view of the stark, rocky coastline and the pale limestone plateaus of the island's eastern edge.
Native Point (Tunermiut)
A historic site visible shortly after takeoff, once the home of the Sadlermiut people.
Foxe Channel Ice
Deep blue arctic waters often filled with swirling white pack ice and small icebergs.
Kingnait Range
Majestic granite mountains and high cliffs that dominate the landscape as you approach Cape Dorset.
Marine Life Corridors
Scan the waters for pods of beluga whales or narwhals, which are frequently spotted in these narrows.
Sit on the left for the best orientation during the descent into Cape Dorset. In summer, the 24-hour daylight provides constant visibility, but late afternoon sun creates dramatic shadows on the Kingnait mountains. Look for the contrast between the turquoise shallow waters and the dark depths of the channel.

Munck Bay Vistas
Sweeping views of the southwestern tundra and the remote wilderness of the interior.
Hudson Bay Horizon
The massive expanse of Northern Hudson Bay stretching toward the southern horizon.
Foxe Peninsula Cliffs
The rugged, craggy shoreline of the peninsula appearing as the flight nears Baffin Island.
Ice Floe Patterns
Intricate geometric patterns formed by sea ice, particularly striking during the spring thaw.
The right side is excellent for observing the vastness of the Arctic sea. During winter flights, this side may offer glimpses of the Aurora Borealis if traveling during the limited twilight hours. Keep binoculars handy to spot polar bears on the ice floes in early summer.
