The skeletal remains of a once-thriving lifeline stand against the Arctic winds. These abandoned coal towers, relics of Svalbard’s mining past, now fade into the snow—silent witnesses to a world that has moved on. The land reclaims what is left behind, but the structures endure, holding their place between history and oblivion.

Where the land fades into light, and the cold air carries only silence. The mountains of Svalbard blur into the sky, their edges softened by drifting mist and the first glow of morning. A frozen world, untouched and infinite.
Whiteout
A silent harbor swallowed by fog, where the first light of day rises like a whispered warning. The water mirrors the sky’s muted fire, turning the boats into silhouettes adrift in an ethereal void. This moment, caught between stillness and awakening, feels both cinematic and otherworldly—an invitation into the unknown.
A lone figure ascends through the mist, their form half-lost in the thick morning fog. The streetlight burns like a false sun, caught between night and day, between the known and the unseen. There's a quiet solitude in this moment—an eerie, cinematic still from a dream half-remembered.

Hooded crows in the fog.
Tromsø Harbour gently emerges from legend to life.
Foggy harbour morning. Dreamy pink dawn over Tromsø Harbour
A lone red beacon stands watch over the still harbor, its glow barely cutting through the thick morning fog. The sky burns with the last embers of dawn, casting the boats in a dreamlike haze. A quiet threshold between movement and stillness, warning and welcome.
