A winter trip I made to Tromsø, Norway from January 3-10, 2024. I initially wanted to visit Tromsø in winter to experience polar night and see the northern lights. While I achieved those two things, I also gained so much more from the experience than I expected.
All photos and videos taken by Michael Richardson or taken with my phone by someone else (photo of me in the troll museum), with the exception of the following 2 photos:
The photo where I am sliding down the hill on the Arctic Nature Tour was taken by the tour guide. The company that offered the tour is Northern Horizon, and the tour guide's work can be found through the following link: / simovatar
The photo at the end with the northern lights behind me was taken by the tour guide. Northern Lights Tour and photo provided by enteradventures.com.
