In the icy silence of Magdalenefjorden, the Arctic feels untouched and endless. Walrus tend to rest along the frozen shoreline, completely unfazed by the drifting expedition boats nearby.

Photography Tips

Get down low with your camera, close to the waterfront, to get reflections and beautiful shapes of the water.
