Back In Arctic Wonderland

.

Kaldfjord, Troms, Northern Norway 27/1-2017

After our Christmas- and New Year break, "Eja" welcomes us back to Northern Norway and Tromsø. We are in the second week of January, and the sun has just started to briefly rise over the horizon...






After some necessarily work on the boat, and some snow- and ice shoveling, we are all ready and eager to head out on the fjord to continue our film project and to find the whales again.

We leave Tromsø early in the morning to take advantage of the short day light there is. Further out in the fjord, we get a nice "welcome back" when seing a pod of orcas enjoying their time in the waves! After day-set, we reach Vengsøy, the island we earlier were based on.






.
Surrounded by the breathtaking white covered mountains and the Arctic fjords filled with thrilling life of all sizes. I´m back in Wonderland with other words, a place I so adore both above and beneath sea level!









.
The Orcas are still plenty in the fjords, and we have had nice encounters every day spent on the water. As they follow the herring however, they will most likely soon start to head further south.

With our well equipped sailboat, we are flexible and our route for the next weeks ahead will all depend on mother nature and the whales :-)





Snow-Fun In The Canadian Forests

Quebec, Canada 21/12-2016-13/1-2017

Back on the computer after a white winter holiday spent in the forested areas of the Canadian province Quebec. Hoping that you also have had a wonderful, cozy Christmas and a beautiful start of 2017!!

Due to my recent off-line time, I´ve been a quite hard to reach lately and my response might be a little delayed... Sorry about that.




.
From the Canadian forests it is now time for me to head back towards the Arctic waters of Northern Norway again. Time to get back onboard the yacht "Eja" to continue our filming of the winter whales :-)

Before taking the flight further north though, I want share some winter beauty from our cold (at coldest -27°C) snowshoe days spent in the forests and on some of the lakes in Quebec.

So pretty, pretty and crispy everywhere ;-)










.
Bye bye Canadian Beauty... time to get equipped with mask and snorkel again to say hello to the Norwegian fjords, northern lights and whales!
