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.

68 North - A Visual Journey Through the Lofoten Islands

The Lofoten Islands is known for its harsh climate but due to being located by the Gulfstream, temperatures rarely get too far beneath freezing. It’s the constant wind, clouds, and perspiration that make the climate harsh. 

Still, there are periods each winter when even the bigger lakes freeze. If you’re lucky, it happens more than once per winter. If you dare crawl your way onto the cracking ice, you might be rewarded with views like this.
