After our first trip to an arc­tic des­ti­na­tion in Green­land in 2023, we dis­cov­ered our love for the Nordic coun­tries. We now also have plen­ty of “Arc­tic Out­fit”, so we planned anoth­er trip with our friends Andrea and Har­ry at the turn of the year 2024/2025. Curi­ous to expe­ri­ence the polar night and hop­ing to see the North­ern Lights again, this time we head­ed north of the Arc­tic Cir­cle to Trom­sø in north­ern Nor­way for a week around New Year’s Eve.

Dur­ing the almost 2- months-long polar night in Trom­sø, the sun always remains below the hori­zon. For­tu­nate­ly, how­ev­er, it is not com­plete­ly dark. For about 3 to 4 hours around mid­day, there is a very spe­cial and pho­to­genic twi­light atmos­phere. How­ev­er, the dark­ness and the cold made pho­tog­ra­phy very chal­leng­ing. In addi­tion, the sky was most­ly cloudy and it snowed at times. Nev­er­the­less, I am quite sat­is­fied with the results. Here are some pic­tures from our trip. Many of them were tak­en with a drone.

I will write a detailed trav­el report here soon. By the way, we liked Trom­sø and the sur­round­ing area so much, that we have already booked a sec­ond trip back there for the begin­ning of Novem­ber 2025. so more pic­tures will follow…
