Which side of the plane to sit from Kegaska Airport (Kegaska) to La Romaine Airport (La Romaine)?
Right Side of the Plane
The right side offers spectacular views of the rugged Gulf of Saint Lawrence coastline and the intricate network of islands that define the Lower North Shore of Quebec.
Archipel de la Romaine
A stunning maze of rocky islands and islets that hug the coastline between Kegaska and La Romaine.
Gulf of St. Lawrence
The deep blue expanse of the gulf, where you may spot whales or large sea birds during the summer months.
Coastal Settlements
Aerial views of isolated fishing communities and the remote infrastructure connecting these roadless areas.
Maritime Routes
Follow the path of coastal supply ships like the Bella Desgagnés as they navigate the narrow channels.
The right side is the definitive choice for this short coastal hop. For the best photography, choose a morning flight when the sun illuminates the rocky shores. During late spring, keep a sharp eye out for stray icebergs drifting south from the Strait of Belle Isle.
Boreal Wilderness
Continuous vistas of the dense Canadian boreal forest stretching north toward the horizon.
Musquaro River
A view of the winding Musquaro River as it drains the interior plateau into the gulf.
Glacial Ponds
Thousands of tiny, crystal-clear lakes carved into the Canadian Shield by ancient glacial activity.
Sit on the left if you prefer the vast, untouched wilderness of the interior. The lighting is generally more consistent here during midday flights, reducing window glare. Look for the distinctive 'staircase' topography of the ancient granite plateau.
