Akimiski Island
View the massive, low-lying Akimiski Island, the largest island in James Bay, visible just off the coast.
James Bay Shoreline
Observe the dramatic transition between the muddy tidal flats and the shallow, brackish waters of the bay.
Coastal Mudflats
A critical habitat for migratory birds; look for the distinct textures of the salt marshes that line the shore.
The right side is best for morning flights when the sun reflects off the bay's surface. In winter, this side offers incredible views of the sea ice and pressure ridges forming along the coastline.

Hudson Bay Lowlands
Observe the vast, flat expanse of the world's largest wetland, characterized by stunted black spruce and peat bogs.
Lawashi River System
Follow the serpentine path of the Lawashi River as it winds through the muskeg towards the coast.
Sit on the left for a better view of the inland hydrology and the complex patterns of the fens. This side is particularly scenic in late autumn when the tamarack trees turn a vibrant gold against the dark peat.
