Winter is long and dark but it doesn't get that cold here in the Lofoten Islands. The temperatures typically stay within a few degrees of freezing. That means that it's 50/50 if we get snow or rain.
Every now and then we'll get some colder days. Days where the temperatures drop below freezing for several days. During these periods, the ice quickly arrives in the shallow ends of the fjords. When the tide goes down, the ice cracks and creates fascinating patterns all around. Such as seen here.
It’s these days we spend most of the season waiting for. And, when the light Gods are on our side, you better be ready!

Imagine a place where the sun doesn't rise in winter and doesn't set in summer. A place where the night sky is dominated by explosions of green, red, and purple. A place where jagged mountains and angry oceans meet. A place where the weather is unforgiving. A place of beauty, peace, and solitude.
That place is the Lofoten Islands. An archipelago north of the Arctic Circle that could've been taken out of a fairytale.
My name is Christian Hoiberg and I'm a full-time photographer from Norway who's been living north of the Arctic circle for the past years. My main work is leading photography tours in Arctic regions and teaching photography online. I've written several ebooks and hundreds of articles to help aspiring photographers develop their skills.
Cold and stormy weather is what I'm passionate about photographing. It makes me feel alive.
