Plate G2.no9: The Arctic (Rovaniemi [Finland])

This picture was taken whilst on a trek I did in the Arctic, January 2017. It was the third of six treks completed between 2016 and 2018.*
The Arctic was not actually like this – it was in fact much more colourful than the image suggests. But: how it looked was quite different to how it felt. The post-production manipulation as applied, is simply an attempt to capture both how cold (-32 degrees) and how surreal it was.
As for the point of view – suffice to say, the surface underfoot impressed itself predominantly on one’s consciousness, less so the horizon.
