Svalbard landscapes

Spectacular scenery from the high arctic.

For my final installment in the Svalbard series, I share some of the incredible scenery we encountered on this arctic archipelago in late March. When I speak to others about this trip, they imagine a land covered in snow and ice would be monotonous. Far from it! The stark contrast between rock and snow, the ever-shifting sea ice, and hour after hour of low-angle sunlight led us to some spectacular photographic opportunities.

First light on Gnåloden peak – entrance to Hornsund, southern Svalbard.

In the gallery I share just two dozen of my favorite images – winnowed down from thousands shot over ten days.

And, in case you missed them, here are the earlier blog posts:
