Didn’t find the info you were looking for? Have a look at the FAQ below, you might find your answers!
What should I bring?
We will explore some of the coldest areas in the arctic, temperatures may reach -35 Celsius, therefore clothing is essential. You’ll need good merino wool base layers, warm fleece, warm down jacket and waterproof gear (pants, shoes, jacket, gloves…). We also recommend heat packs.
Will I see and photograph the Northern Lights?
Chances are high. If the aurora is strong, we will get a good display and definitely photograph it!
Do I need to bring a laptop?
A laptop is not necessary to follow the post-processing classes. We’ll show you our workflow directly on our laptops and you’ll be able to see everything we do in Lightroom and Photoshop. On the other hand, you might want to bring your laptop to start working on your pictures straight away during the downtime in the hotel!
Can I bring a drone?
Yes!
Where does this tour start/end?
