Welcome to arctic Norway! My name is Bernd Luff and I followed my passion for arctic Nature in 2015, moving from southern Germany to Tromsø, capital of arctic Norway. Follow my journey and learn about Norwegian nature, culture and mentality - and get inside tips for your next arctic journey!

To get one of the most asked questions answered right away - yes, the sun doesn't go below the horizon for several months in summer and doesn't rise above the horizon during winter. That doesn't mean it's dark all winter long, daylight is just limited, down to 1 hour/day at the darkest. But the light we get is amazingly beautiful, and northern lights are lighting up the night sky, reflecting in the fjords, where the only sound are whales breathing in the dark. In other words - it's always an amazing place to be, no matter the season!
