The sun is peaking above the horizon behind a frozen lake. In the foreground a bench full of snow and a pole with a rescue ring float for swimmers cast long shadows.
First glimpse of the sun this year after polar night. Always special. #polarnight #kirkenes #Finnmark #fujifilmx100f

The Norwegian government wants to develop a national preparedness hub (action zone) in the town of #Kirkenes, which is located near the Norwegian-Russian border – as part of its new High North Strategy.
This will strengthen cooperation on defense with #Norway, Finland & Sweden.

With #Hurtigruten 🇳🇴 over the northernmost section of the Norwegian mail ship route, from #Kirkenes to #Tromsø. I’m travelling on the #Nordnorge, a lovely ship built in the 1990s. Fascinating scenery here, way north of the Artic Circle, with temperatures just, just above freezing point.

A peaceful, dreamlike scene of a soft blue-gray snowy slope, gently outlined by bare trees and shrubs, under a light blue-gray sky. The horizon blends seamlessly.

Pale sunlight glides over calm fjord water, silent and cold, with snow-covered peaks in the distance.
Light wears a pale face here
