Northern Norway, extending above the Arctic Circle, is a region known for its dramatic geography, including fjords, mountains, and coastal archipelagos. The climate is predominantly subarctic and oceanic, with relatively mild winters and cool summers, considering its high latitude. This anomaly is due to the North Atlantic Current. Winters can see the mesmerizing Northern Lights, while summers bring the phenomenon of the Midnight Sun, with daylight persisting for 24 hours in areas beyond the Arctic Circle. Precipitation varies, with coastal areas receiving more rain and inland areas experiencing colder temperatures.

Hunting the Northern lights

We went to Northern Norway to hunt the Northern lights with our cameras. Unfortunately, it was only once as we saw the green ribbons dancing in the skies.

The Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, are a natural light display in the Earth’s sky, predominantly seen in high-caused by collisions between electrically charged particles from the sun and the Earth’s atmosphere.

A short recuperation of events on the New Year’s eve

A recuperation of events on a bit crazy new years eve and new year night in Tromso and among fjords in Northern Norway.

Tromsø

Tromsø is the largest urban area beyond the Arctic Circle, nestled in the heart of Northern Norway. The city is situated at approximately 69 degrees north latitude. The city is a bit milder than its surroundings, reaching deeper into the Scandinavian Peninsula due to the moderating influence of the Gulf Stream.
