Search flights from YZV to YKL
Sept-Îles Archipelago
Stunning views of the seven islands guarding the bay and the busy iron ore shipping terminals.
Moisie River Canyons
Incredible vistas of one of North America's most powerful salmon rivers cutting through steep rock walls.
QNS&L Railway
Follow the winding track of the Quebec North Shore and Labrador Railway, the lifeline of the north.
Fermont Mining Area
Views of the massive open-pit iron mines and the famous 'Wall' building designed to shield the town from wind.
Menihek Lakes
A sprawling network of interconnected lakes and the Menihek hydroelectric station near the destination.
The right side is essential for seeing the QNS&L railway line, which is the only land link to the region. Keep a sharp eye out for ore trains that can be over 200 cars long. In autumn, the larch trees turn a brilliant gold, creating a striking contrast with the blue lakes. Afternoon flights provide the best illumination for the Moisie River canyon walls.

Sept-Îles Cityscape
Aerial view of the city's unique grid layout and the Clarke City industrial sector upon takeoff.
Sainte-Marguerite River
Deeply carved river valleys and the massive hydroelectric dams that power the regional industry.
Lake Walker
Quebec's deepest lake, surrounded by sheer granite cliffs reaching over 500 meters high.
Central Taiga
A vast, untouched expanse of black spruce forest dotted with thousands of small glacial ponds.
Sit on the left if you are interested in the geological depth of Lake Walker and the rugged peaks of the Laurentian Highlands. Morning flights provide soft lighting that accentuates the deep shadows of the glacial valleys. Look for the sharp transition from dense forest to the sparser subarctic taiga as you move north.
