James Bay Horizon
Distant views of the vast James Bay waters, which remain ice-choked well into the early summer months.
Albany River Delta
The intricate, braided channels of the river mouth as it empties into the subarctic sea.
Coastal Salt Marshes
Unique wetland ecosystems that change color dramatically from vibrant green in summer to deep gold in autumn.
Look east immediately after takeoff to catch the reflection of the sun on James Bay. Morning flights are particularly scenic as the low sun highlights the complex water patterns of the delta. Watch for seasonal ice flows if traveling in May or June.

Endless Boreal Muskeg
A bird's-eye view of the dense spruce forests and peatlands characteristic of the Hudson Bay Lowlands.
Upstream Albany River
The winding, dark waters of the Albany River snaking deep into the Ontario wilderness.
Community Overviews
Excellent aerial perspectives of the remote settlements of Kashechewan and Fort Albany during the short hop.
Since this flight is extremely short (often under 10 minutes), have your camera ready before takeoff. This side is ideal for spotting the main river channel and the geographical isolation of these northern communities. In autumn, the larch trees provide a striking yellow contrast against the dark evergreens.
