Arctic & Aurora

Arctic landscape, Northern Lights, reindeer, huskies, skidoos frozen rivers and much much more.

February 2009. The journey commences in Tromso, our 'Gateway to the Arctic', continues via Finland culminating in our base camp, the raw landscape of Ravnastua, Karasjok. This was an epic journey, an adventure and fed us with a hostile beauty. Clear skies every evening resulted in the magical aurora dancing constantly through the freezing arctic skies. It was script written for adventure.

Enjoy the journey.

    As we arrived at base camp in Ravnastua, Karasjok, sun was fading. We were greeted by passing dog sleds. A nice start. Olympus E3, 8mm fisheye
    Temps averaged -30C every night except the last day which peaked at -36C. This weather station in base camp proves the score. Brrrrr
    Clear skies again at base camp. Aurora or Northern Lights came out early at 6pm as a weak glow. It slowly strengthened as the night progressed culminating in a dazzling Valentine day display. Olympus E3, 8mm fisheye
