Our Arctic passion goes beyond photography
At Arctic Wildlife Tours, our passion lies in exploring the Arctic and spending time with its incredible marine wildlife. For our founder, Svein, this is more than just a passion—it’s a lifelong mission to document and experience Arctic nature in its purest form. In the Be Inspired blog, we share our experiences, insights, and encounters with the Arctic’s remarkable wildlife, ever-changing seasons, and the unforgettable journeys we’ve embarked on. Whether you’re looking for inspiration, knowledge, or answers about Arctic wildlife photography, we hope you’ll find something valuable here.
At Arctic Wildlife Tours, we are committed to responsible nature tourism, ensuring that our presence has a positive impact on the Arctic environment. As we travel through this remote and fragile ecosystem, we do so with the utmost respect for the wildlife and their habitat. We believe that by observing and coexisting with Arctic marine animals in their natural surroundings, we gain a deeper understanding of their world—something that research alone cannot fully teach. Through these experiences, we hope to inspire a greater appreciation for the Arctic and encourage its protection for generations to come.
