Northern Lights Photography
Northern Norway’s winter nights are shaped by darkness, cold and sudden light. This gallery follows the northern lights across Reine, Fredvang, Skagsanden, Kvaløya, Ringvassøya, Kirkenes and Tromsø, where green aurora moves above fjords, snow-covered peaks, frozen rivers and small Arctic settlements.
