Photography trip on the Polarfront
Join us in January 2023 on board the high-end French expedition vessel Polarfront for a week-long trip searching for whales and northern lights while exploring the waters of Northern Norway.
After the long polar night, the sun is back in Tromsø, casting a beautiful light on the snowy mountains.
Whales are feeding in the fjords, and on clear nights the northern lights often make an appearance in the polar sky.
Whales
In the winter months, whales and orcas gather in the cold waters of the fjords of northern Norway to feed on the abundance of herring that are found there.
Finding whales will be the main goal of our journey. We will do our best to avoid the areas visited by the usual day tours from Tromsø. This has a double advantage: less disturbance to the whales, and less ships on our pictures.
When we find the whales and conditions allowing, we will set the zodiacs in the water and attempt to approach them.
Of course, we always act responsibly. The Polarfront crew is well trained to approach the whales with the least disturbance.
The most likely species that we will meet are killer whales (orcas) and humpbacks.
