The flight path crosses the Canadian Shield, passing over northern Ontario's boreal forest and countless lakes. Notable features include the transition from prairie to Canadian Shield forest (visible around the Manitoba-Ontario border), scattered lakes and rivers throughout northern Ontario, and the gradual shift toward the Atlantic maritime landscape as you approach Newfoundland. The Hudson Bay Lowlands and James Bay region lie to the north of the typical flight corridor. No major mountain ranges are visible on this route, but the landscape transitions from relatively flat prairie to rolling forested terrain.
