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.

    Relief. No luxuries here. Toilet facilities at base camp were basic, to say the least. Ironically the domestic rawness added to the authenticity of the place. You wouldn't want a 5* all inclusive in the Arctic now would you? Olympus E3, 7-14mm - F4, 1/500s, EC +0.7

    Set. It was dark by 3pm, which felt very strange. With the sun staying so low on the horizon it made for some stunning sunset scenes. Here I worked on getting a silhouette of Al filming, without losing too much of the ground snow. It was all very exciting because as the sun went down the aurora came out to play.
