Landscapes from above the Arctic Circle

—  This landscape photography series was taken during a single day of hiking in the powdery snow of Lapland.

This forest is located in the northern part of Sweden, around 145 kilometres north of the Arctic Circle. The nearest town to this wilderness is Kiruna.

During the winter, the sun stays very low on the horizon, creating beautiful light and colour throughout the day. It’s like experiencing an eternal sunrise or sunset.
