Subjects : The subjects range from landscapes (mountains, lakes, frozen lakes in winter, forests) to animals (reindeer, elk, various birds, bobcats, foxes and bears in the summer season), but the real attraction is the aurora borealis.

Recommended equipment : For landscapes and the Aurora Borealis, a must have the tripod and a very bright wide-angle, but it is generally recommended to have focal landscapes, and a cover from 14 / 15mm to 200mm is ideal. The most "approachable" animals are reindeer and moose which you can capture with a 300mm right, for the rest it is recommended by the 400mm on.

Best months : If you go to the Aurora Borealis hunting the best time is from November to mid April. The rest of the year, you still unspoilt and fantastic nature. In June you can see the midnight sun.

How to get there : Kiruna is a small village located approximately 150Km of Swedish Lapland above the line of the Arctic Circle, the easiest way to get there is to get to Stockholm and from there take a domestic flight. For the more adventurous from Stockholm you can take an old, historic railway line passing from Kiruna and alight at Narvik (Norway).

Visits : The fattening is of course free
