Looks stunning, what month did you go?


Late Jan/Feb

Very cold but clear skies - not much snow falling and very icy
Lots of Northern Lights with beautiful sun sets and rises

Most nights were too cold to camp (we used Tipis with wood burners) as the ground was too frozen to get tent pegs into

Did not quite get to Nordkapp as they closed the roads due to a blizzard - but driving in a blizzard was exhilarating - only just being able to see the red edge marker poles with no real idea where the road was - there is a pole on the left of the picture

Very nice... I went in Jan and camped / snowholed, but I didn't have a choice. Wink
