Norway Wildlife Photography
Norway's remote Arctic reaches offer some of Europe's most rewarding wildlife photography, where seabirds and tundra specialists thrive against a backdrop of dramatic northern landscapes. For photographers seeking striking cold-climate subjects and relatively accessible Arctic wildlife, Norway stands out as a destination combining raw scenery with genuine photographic opportunity. NaturesLens has found the country's far north to be an excellent base for capturing both resident predators and the seabird colonies that gather along its coastline.
Species NaturesLens Photographs in Norway
NaturesLens runs its Winter Wildlife of Arctic Varanger holiday each April, focusing on the Varanger and Vardo areas, where photographers can expect encounters with Arctic Fox and Arctic Hare against snow-covered terrain. Along the coast and cliffs, NaturesLens also photographs a rich variety of seabirds and waterfowl, including Atlantic Puffin, Black Guillemot, Black-legged Kittiwake, Common Eider, Common Murre, Glaucous Gull, Great Black-backed Gull, King Eider, and Long-tailed Duck. The region's reputation for raptors is well represented too, with NaturesLens seeking out the striking Gyrfalcon during this same April trip.
