The Frozen Land

Description

When I travel for wildlife photography, I often regret not being able to capture the surrounding landscape as well. I usually have to choose between the two, as both are best photographed at the same time, when the light is most flattering and beautiful. One of the great advantages of the Arctic region is that optimal light conditions last for most of the day in some seasons. At the end of winter, the days are only a few hours long, the sun is very low in the sky, and the light almost always resembles sunrise or sunset. This has given me the opportunity to photograph not only animals, but also breathtaking landscapes, such as these pink mountains behind an ice-covered bay.
