🛬 Landing at Amderma (AMV)

Best sideLeft
WhyAmderma sits right on the Kara Sea coast at the tip of the Yugorsky Peninsula, so on most approaches you'll cross tundra before the runway with the sea coastline running along one side. A left-side view typically catches the coastline, frozen inlets, and the flat, lake-dotted tundra stretching inland — one of the few visual reference points in this remote Arctic landscape.
