Land Of The Midnight Sun

We welcome you to join us on an exclusive trip into the land of the midnight sun, as we stake out Europe’s greatest predators. On this new 5 night adventure, we will visit 2 unique locations offering the chance to photograph both adult bears and young cubs. Experience the magical Scandinavian midsummer, with close to 24 hours of daylight, participants can expect extended unique photographic opportunities. Finnish summertime signals the arrival of long daylight hours, bringing magical light and crisp green vegetation across the boreal regions. Bear activity is good during this time of year, and beautiful summer light allows a range of unique images. Warm days and cool nights bring with them ghostly mist, which slowly forms above the swamps. It is here, where the ghosts of the forest appear most at home, as many different individual bears can be present in the area. Birds and insects are present, and plants are in bloom as the swamps are laden with delicate cotton grass. Wolverine are a frequent visitor to the surrounding landscape, and breeding birds such as Red-Throated Diver, Greenshank and Goldeneye are also regularly present.

BaseCamp

Our base for this trip is a rustic wildlife lodge located in the picturesque surroundings of the Boreal forest in midsummer. This is one of the best locations in Finland to observe and photograph Brown Bear and Wolverine among their natural habitat. This package includes five nights in professional bear photography hides, custom built and carefully positioned, with photographers in mind. We offer you a choice of 25 different professional hides, all with a different view of the surrounding wilderness. A number of hides have been installed with state of the art low angle shooting windows, allowing an optional fresh and intimate perspective with images. You will have the chance to photograph the predators among three different distinctive Boreal habitats, including forest, swamp and lake. The wild landscape is totally unique to this site and will allow you to photograph predators in a number of ways. With reflections possible at the lake hides, to the cotton grass covered swamps and ancient boreal forest the bears call home. The opportunity to photograph bears during midsummer is very special. We are incredibly fortunate to work in this location, allowing you the opportunity build a unique portfolio of images.
