I am in the very north of Norway, far beyond the Arctic Circle on assignment for WWF UK. Our brief is to shoot a story on the cod fishing industry in the Barents Sea and Lofoten islands, and to show the vastness and beauty of the grand arctic landscapes. The sheer sense of space is breathtaking, and it's quite simply impossible to grasp how far north we are until you do some simple maths: the length from here (Hammerfest, just south of the North Cape) to Oslo is about the same distance as Oslo to Rome.
My trip has only just started (on the 22nd), and I already have thousands of images - gorgeous landscapes, incredible sunsets, reindeer casually strolling through the countryside, vast expanses of water and ice in empty fjords, and so much more to see. My next destination are the Lofoten islands where I'll be concentrating on the traditional cod fishing season which is, apparently, in full swing. And here are finally some pictures...
