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

Hiking in the North requires a certain amount of planning. Not necessarily the route itself but you need to be prepared for all types of weather. Be it during summer or winter. Rain gear should always be in your backpack. This day was a good reminder of that. The rain was so intense that even waterproof clothes and shoes weren’t enough to keep me dry. It’s definitely more tempting to stay warm and cozy at home on these days but, if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that hard work pays off. This day, it sure did.
